Justin Kluivert etched his name into Premier League history on Saturday by becoming the first player to score a hat-trick of penalties in a single match.
Playing for Bournemouth, Kluivert's remarkable feat occurred during an exhilarating 4-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium.
The Netherlands international successfully converted spot kicks in the third, 18th, and 74th minutes, each time capitalizing on fouls committed against Evanilson, who became the first player to win three penalties in one Premier League game.
Kluivert expressed his delight, stating, "To go in the history books is amazing. Super happy with it."
In another Premier League encounter, Brentford showcased their prowess by defeating Leicester City 4-1. Kevin Schade was the star of the match, scoring a superb hat-trick and assisting a fourth goal.
This impressive performance marked Schade's first goals of the Premier League season and came under the watchful eye of Leicester's new manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy. The victory was a testament to Thomas Frank's tactical acumen as his team roared back from a goal down to secure a commanding win.
