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.

Semenyo makes another brilliant run down the left, beating Livramento for pace before Tonali concedes the corner. The Bournemouth forward seems to have picked up a knock in the process but looks fine to continue. Nothing comes from the corner.
