New Delhi, Nov 30 (NationPress) Brentford FC, Nottingham Forest, and AFC Bournemouth all celebrated victories in their respective match-ups on a night where history was made in the Premier League. Newcastle United put up a strong fight against Crystal Palace, but a late goal denied the Toons the chance for victory during the early kick-off matches on Saturday.
Justin Kluivert made history as he became the first player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick, leading AFC Bournemouth to a remarkable 4-2 victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers in front of their home crowd at Molineux Stadium.
The Dutch forward, in his 50th appearance for the club, showcased his skills with three expertly taken penalties in an exciting match filled with action. Evanilson also etched his name in Premier League annals by becoming the first player to win three penalties in a single match.
Kevin Schade also shone brightly, netting a brilliant hat-trick that propelled Brentford to a 4-1 triumph over Leicester City on Saturday. Facundo Buonanotte initially put the Foxes ahead midway through the first half, but the Bees retaliated strongly, taking a commanding 3-1 lead into halftime.
Yoane Wissa, assisted by Schade, ignited the comeback with a close-range finish, and the German international added his third goal after the break, contributing to Brentford's fourth consecutive win at Gtech Community Stadium.
Daniel Munoz's header in stoppage time thwarted Newcastle United from claiming all three points, resulting in a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday. Eddie Howe's squad could have faced an early setback when Munoz squandered a golden opportunity to score for the hosts. The opening goal arrived via Anthony Gordon's low cross, which was inadvertently redirected into the net by defender Marc Guehi. It was a disappointing conclusion for the Magpies, as they conceded late in stoppage time, forcing them to split the points.
Nottingham Forest found their winning form again with a 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon. Nuno Espirito Santo implemented five changes to the lineup that previously lost to Arsenal.
The Reds had a strong start, with Ryan Yates seeing a shot cleared off the line by Sam Szmodics following a cut-back from Callum Hudson-Odoi. After a patient first half, Forest finally capitalized on their pressure four minutes after the break. Jota was fouled by Szmodics inside the box, allowing Chris Wood to step up and score his ninth goal of the season with a powerful penalty down the middle.
