On the evening of January 18, Justin Kluivert shone with a hat-trick, helping Bournemouth end Newcastle's 9-match winning streak, and at the same time extend the club's unbeaten streak in the Premier League to 10 matches.

This result helps Bournemouth rise to 6th place in the Premier League table, just 1 point behind 4th place Newcastle.

Bournemouth started the game better and opened the scoring in the 9th minute. Ryan Christie's pass tore through Newcastle's defense, allowing Antoine Semenyo to break through and cross for Kluivert to tap the ball in close range.

Conceding a goal, Newcastle pressed forward to attack. In the 24th minute, Bruno Guimaraes equalized 1-1 for the "Magpies" with a tricky header after a corner kick by Lewis Hall.

However, in the 39th minute, Kluivert completed his double with a decisive finish in the penalty area, after a pass from Dango Ouattara.

In the second half, Newcastle tried hard to find an equalizer but could not penetrate Bournemouth's solid defense, even conceding two more goals in injury time.

In the 90+2 minute, Kluivert completed his second hat-trick in the Premier League this season. Four minutes later, Kerkez rubbed salt into the wounds of the home fans with a goal that sealed the 4-1 win for Bournemouth.
