Justin Kluivert scores three penalties in one match, setting a Premier League record.
Kluivert, 25, is the son of Dutch football legend Patrick Kluivert. While his father had a successful career, Justin has now set a record that his dad never achieved. After the match, he expressed his joy at being part of football history.
The first penalty came just three minutes into the game. There was some debate about whether the penalty should have been awarded, but the decision stood after a VAR review. Kluivert calmly placed the ball into the bottom corner, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.
Fifteen minutes later, Kluivert scored his second penalty. Again, VAR was involved, confirming that the Wolves goalkeeper had fouled a Bournemouth player. This time, Kluivert changed his approach and shot to the opposite side, catching the keeper off guard.
His third penalty came later in the match. Bournemouth’s coach was unsure if Kluivert should take it, but he decided to let him go ahead. Kluivert confidently scored again, sealing the win for his team and moving Bournemouth up the league table.
While Kluivert shone, his teammate Evanilson also made history by winning three penalties in the same match. Although he didn’t score, his efforts were crucial to the team’s success. The coach praised Evanilson for his hard work and impact on the game.
Justin Kluivert’s family has a rich football history. His grandfather played for Suriname, and his father was a star for the Netherlands. Patrick Kluivert had a successful club career, winning many titles and scoring important goals.
Justin is following in his father’s footsteps, having played for several clubs and now making a name for himself at Bournemouth. He hopes his recent achievement will inspire future generations of Kluiverts.
After the match, Kluivert shared his plans for the match ball. He intends to place it in his daughter’s room, which will be a special reminder of his accomplishment when she arrives in February.
