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.

The Cherries continue to probe with Kluivert picking out Christie in the box but his finish is a poor one and he misses the target. The Scot believes his effort was deflected and protests to the referee but it's given as a goal kick to Newcastle.

Bournemouth continue to keep possession, leading to Kluivert whipping in a cross which troubles Dubravaka but flies over him and past his far post.

Cook is found in acres of space down the right, he finds Ouattara but Burn does well to narrow the angle and block the eventual shot. Excellent defending from the Newcastle defender.

Some Bournemouth pressure deep in Newcastle's half is lost after Joelinton wins a foul on the edge of the penalty area. The Cherries still look dangerous going forward despite that setback.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Bournemouth (Bruno Guimaraes, 25)

Fabulous header by the midfielder at a corner, and Newcastle are level!

Guimaraes now has one goal and two assists in his last three Premier League matches. The Brazilian continues to show his importance to this high-flying Newcastle side.

Christie concedes a corner after blocking Livramento's cross. It's half-dealt with by Kluivert but another corner is awarded.

Another worry for Bournemouth as Semenyo goes down and receives treatment for the knock earlier. Iraola will hope he can shake it off and continue, considering their injury worries elsewhere.

Newcastle's first opportunity of the match sees Guimaraes tee up Joelinton to curl a first time effort at goal on the edge of the penalty area but it goes way over the crossbar. The Magpies are starting to get going now.
