The Dutchman is the first player in Premier-League history to score a hat-trick of penalties
‘I train them [the penalties]. We have a great goalkeeper, Kepa [Arrizabalaga]. We try some stuff.
‘The first one, I stop and look at the keeper, what is he doing? I switched it up for the second one. Then the third one, he doesn’t know what I’m going to do. I waited and he chose for me. Easy as that.
‘We have shown that we can beat a lot of teams in this league. I am happy.’
On where he will place the match ball, the Bournemouth forward added: ‘I will put it in my daughter’s room, waiting for her to come in February, and she can see how I did it.’
Justin Kluivert is the son of legendary Barcelona and Netherlands international Patrick.
He now has five Premier League goals this season having also netted in the win over Arsenal and defeat by Brentford.
