Justin Kluivert made Premier League history with a remarkable record-breaking performance and has been officially recognised by Guinness World Records for scoring the most penalties in a single Premier League match.

His hat-trick of spot-kicks came in Bournemouth’s 4-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on 30 November 2024 at the Vitality Stadium.

During the match, each penalty was calmly dispatched as the Dutch striker helped Bournemouth secured three crucial points that afternoon.

A family tradition of football excellence

Interestingly, this latest achievement strengthens a family legacy already decorated with historic moments. Justin’s father, Patrick Kluivert, remains a football icon.

Patrick famously became the youngest scorer in a UEFA Champions League final, netting for Ajax against AC Milan in 1995.

That goal, scored at just 18 years and 327 days, sealed Ajax’s European triumph and announced Patrick to the world.

Now, nearly three decades later, his son is creating records of his own. This shows that the Kluivert family name still thrives as the name is once again linked with historic football achievements.

Justin’s record also serves as inspiration for young footballers.
