In the 14th week of the English Premier League, Bournemouth defeated Wolverhampton 4-2 away, with the guest team's forward Justin Kluivert making history with his hat-trick. ACHIEVED A FIRST IN THE PREMIER LEAGUEIn the match played at Molineux Ground Stadium, referee Peter Bankes awarded three penalty decisions in favor of Bournemouth. Kluivert stepped up to the spot in the 3rd, 18th, and 74th minutes, scoring without a miss and set a Premier League record as "the first player to score three consecutive goals from penalties in the same match." ACHIEVED A FIRST BEFORE THE PREMIER LEAGUE IN 1957The Dutch player who signed the first 'penalty hat-trick' in the Premier League, established a first in the highest level of English football since December 1, 1957. At that time, Manchester City defeated Everton 6-2, and Ken Barnes managed to score 3 goals from penalties. "IT'S AMAZING TO ENTER THE HISTORY BOOKS"Justin Kluivert, son of the legendary Dutch footballer Patrick Kluivert, stated in an interview after the match that "it looks amazing" when reminded that no one else has achieved this success during the Premier League era. "It's great to enter the history books. I'm very happy about that," he said.
