Sports Mole looks at the highlights, man of the match, and stats from Saturday's Premier League clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth.

Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth emerged as 4-2 victors against hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League, winning for the first time in three games.

Justin Kluivert opened the scoring in the third minute from the penalty spot after striker Evanilson was brought down by Toti Gomes, but the home side equalised just two minutes later thanks to Jorgen Strand Larsen, who headed home from following Jean-Ricner Bellegarde's exceptional cross into the box from the right flank.

However, Gary O'Neil's Wolves conceded again in the eighth minute after a rampaging run from left-back Milos Kerkez, who charged into 18-yard box, latching onto Marcus Tavernier's through ball and striking into the top-left corner.

Kluivert dispatched his second penalty of the game into the left of the net in the 18th minute after Jose Sa clipped the ankles of Evanilson, who sneaked in front of the unaware goalkeeper before being fouled, and the goalscorer would dispatch his third penalty in the 74th minute just five minutes after Strand Larsen netted his second of the match.

Wolves started the day in 17th place with nine points, and the defeat means they are now in 18th place, though they are at least level on points with 17th-placed Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth rise from 13th place to 11th place with 18 points and are only two points off seventh-placed Brentford.

Kluivert demonstrated great composure to score his first penalty, with the forward waiting for Sa to move before sweeping the ball into the right side of the net, sending the goalkeeper in the wrong direction.

Wolves' goal came about thanks to good work from Matheus Cunha and Bellegarde on the right wing, but the Cherries will be disappointed that they failed to defend Strand Larsen considering he was able to dart into the space between the visitors' two centre-backs.

However, Kerkez ran at pace into the box and struck excellently into the top-left corner to restore Bournemouth's lead, demonstrating his immense potential as an offensive threat from left-back.

Strand Larsen benefitted from the pace of substitute Goncalo Guedes, who raced into the final third in the 69th minute and played a subtle pass toward the right side of the box, before the goalscorer's strike was deflected into the back of the net by Illia Zabarnyi.

Any joy proved to be short-lived when Kluivert completed his hat-trick after Evanilson was once again fouled by Sa in the box, and the Dutchman made no mistake from the spot, shooting down the middle.

MAN OF THE MATCH - EVANILSON

While Kluivert could have easily been awarded the man of the match award, Evanilson deserves credit for his role in winning all three penalties.

The striker was a thorn in the side of goalkeeper Sa, who fouled the forward twice, but the Brazilian showcased his intelligence to win each of the three spot kicks.

Evanilson also contested 17 duels in the match, and not only was this the joint highest figure of any player on the pitch, he also won 11 of those battles, which was also the joint most of any player.
