Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Re-live all the action from St James' Park as Andoni Iraola’s side triumph in Newcastle
Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert struck a superb hat-trick in a 4-1 away win over his father Patrick's former club Newcastle United in Saturday's early Premier League kick-off, ending the hosts' six-match winning run in the league.
Ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures, the victory leaves Bournemouth sixth in the league on 37 points, behind fifth-placed Chelsea on goal difference, while Newcastle stay fourth on 38 points.
Kluivert gave Bournemouth the lead in the sixth minute with a sweeping shot and though Bruno Guimares equalised for the hosts from a corner, Kluivert struck again to send his side in 2-1 up at the break.
Newcastle struggled to create chances and Kluivert, whose father managed one goal at St. James' Park in a season-long stay with the Magpies in 2004/05, curled a superb third in second-half stoppage time before Milos Kerkez completed the rout.

DISALLOWED GOAL! Ouattara thinks he's handed his side a two-goal lead after finishing well from a teasing Brooks cross but VAR disallows the goal after the ball was found to be out just seconds earlier, with the Cherries instead awarded a corner.

More sustained Newcastle pressure as Guimaraes is fouled twice in quick succession deep in Bournemouth's half of the pitch. Gordon's delivery on the second is a flat one and easily cleared by Kluivert.

Brooks takes the free kick and it's met by the head of Zabaryni but he gets too much on it and it flies way over the crossbar.

Tonali fouls Kluivert on the edge of the box. The Dutchman has been a constant menace along with his two goals this afternoon.

Direct wing play by Gordon sees him take on Zabaryni and deliver a cross but it's cleared out by Huijsen, positioned perfectly in the centre of the penalty area. Newcastle seem to be settling into the half now.

First decent bit of play from the home side in this half sees Murphy win a corner off Kerkez but Christie glances a header away and Bournemouth eventually allieviate any danger.

Christie wrestles the ball off Hall and bares down on goal but his shot is deflected away for a corner. Kluivert's delivery is headed out emphatically by Joelinton and Newcastle can clear. They've been rather open at the back during the start of this second half.
