The Bournemouth winger fired in two spot-kicks in the first half, before tucking home his third away at Wolves in the 74th minute.

In doing so, he has become the first player in the Premier League’s 32-year history to achieve the astonishing feat.

And the Dutchman – son of legendary striker Patrick – has also become the first to score a hat-trick of penalties in a top-flight match since 1957.

Ken Barnes was the last player to do so in the league for Manchester City against Everton 67 years ago.

Kluivert is also the first player to do so in any competition since Liverpool cult hero Jan Molby in a League Cup tie with Leicester in 1986.

It’s not just Kluivert that created Premier League history at Molineux either.

His teammate Evanilson has become the first player to win three penalties in a single match.
