Justin Kluivert the person of the day at the Premier League according to Dailysports
On Saturday, January 18, five matches of the 22nd round of the English Premier League took place. The leaders Arsenal and Liverpool achieved different results, but the main event of the day occurred in Newcastle.
At St. James' Park, the Magpies were thrashed by an audacious Bournemouth side under Andoni Iraola. The final score of 4-1 highlighted the visitors' efforts, with Justin Kluivert playing a key role. The 25-year-old Dutchman scored a hat-trick and provided an assist, earning recognition as the key figure of the day by Dailysports. Notably, this was his second hat-trick of the current season.
It’s worth noting that Kluivert has now scored 11 goals this season, matching his career best. Back in the 2017/18 season, he achieved the same tally for Ajax before moving to Roma, who bought his contract for 17 million euros.
