Our review of the season part three: The goals
Then there were the hat-tricks. Makeshift striker Dango Ouattara starred in a 5-0 rout of Nottingham Forest, which ultimately improved the goal difference enough to pip Brentford to ninth place. And Justin Kluivert hit two trebles on the road, with a historic hat-trick of penalties at Wolves, before gunning down Newcastle to score more league goals at St James' Park in one game than his father Patrick managed in an entire season on context, that 4-1 win at Newcastle on 18 January was the champagne moment of an unforgettable season. The Magpies went into that game on a run of nine successive wins, being talked about as title contenders, with Alexander Isak on a red-hot streak of 11 goals in his past eight league could only name a patched-up XI with players out of position and a threadbare bench of development squad players, the six outfield subs boasting only four substitute league appearances for the Cherries between them. The omens were not good for the fans who had left their homes in the early hours to make the longest journey of the season for a Saturday lunchtime those fans were treated to a breathtaking performance to live long in the memory. Isak did not get a kick. Even some Newcastle diehards I spoke to after the game hailed it as the best away performance they had seen at St James' Park in the field, the Cherries have a new state-of-the-art training ground – and owner Bill Foley chose its opening ceremony to announce that a deal had been reached to buy back Vitality Stadium, which had been sold and leased back two decades earlier when the financial wolves were years ago, Foley promised European football within five years. While a top-seven place was tantalisingly out of reach in 2024-25, this Bournemouth team have made a habit of shattering glass ceilings - and they are not done just yet.

7 memorable moments from 2024-25 Premier League season
Another Premier League season full of ups and down comes to an end on Sunday. With the title and relegation issues sorted, all the focus is on the race for Champions League qualification, with five teams still in the mix for three spots. Here, the PA news agency looks at seven memorable moments from the 2024-25 campaign. Liverpool's first Premier League title came in the 2019-20 season when the latter part of the campaign was played behind closed doors because of the coronavirus pandemic. They were able to celebrate in style this time, though, as Arne Slot's men confirmed their status as the best team in the country by walloping Tottenham 5-1. Bournemouth end Man City run Manchester City started the season in ominous form, going unbeaten in their first nine games, taking their tally to 32 without defeat. But that came to a crashing end at Bournemouth on November 2 as goals from Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson earned the Cherries a 2-1 win, sparking a mind-boggling collapse which derailed City's bid for a fifth successive title. Kluivert's hat-trick of penalties Bournemouth's Justin Kluivert also went into the history books on November 30 when he became the first player to score a hat-trick of Premier League penalties. The Dutchman bagged three from 12 yards in the 4-2 victory over Wolves at Molineux. Trent gets booed Trent Alexander-Arnold found Liverpfool's mantra of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' only applies if you choose not to join Real Madrid on a free transfer. The right-back's future was finally made clear earlier this month, when he announced he would be leaving his boyhood club in the summer at the end of his contract, and the news was not well received by angry fans, who booed him when he was introduced as a substitute in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal on May 11. Forest thrash Brighton Nottingham Forest have enjoyed a brilliant season and are guaranteed European football next term, although it is not yet known in which competition. The highlight was a 7-0 thumping of Brighton on February 1, when top scorer Chris Wood scored a hat-trick, with a Lewis Dunk own goal and efforts from Morgan Gibbs-White, Neco Williams and Jota Silva earning Forest a record win in the Premier League. Ten Hag was toast Despite being handed a new contract in the summer, Erik ten Hag was sacked as Manchester United manager after only nine games. The final straw for the club's board was a 2-1 defeat at West Ham, which came courtesy of Jarrod Bowen's stoppage-time penalty. It was not without controversy as the decision, which was made after VAR intervention, was later ruled to be incorrect, but the Dutchman was long gone by then. Saints beat record low points Derby's record low points of 11, set in the 2007-08 season, has never been as under threat as it has in recent years. Sheffield United mustered just 16 last term and Southampton had a painfully good go at beating it this time around. Saints have endured a miserable campaign as the division's whipping boys, but finally got to the magical 12 points in their 36th game by drawing 0-0 with Manchester City. Not a bad way to avoid infamy.

The current leading scorer, Kluivert has taken his game to another level at times, which has included two hat-tricks as well!Lewis CookLewis is definitely Bournemouth's 'Mr Consistent' and has rightly worn the captain's armband on many occasions. The composed playmaker has had to adapt to a right full-back position for a large part of the season, and he has unsurprisingly impressed in the AdamsThe Cherries' defensive numbers have improved this campaign and Adams is one of the key reasons for this. A fit-and-firing Tyler is the glue in the middle of the park, who must be a nuisance to play against. He relishes those midfield battles and suffocating his mentionsFrankly, this could frankly be the rest of the squad as it has been an impressive team effort this season. Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi have been rocks, Milos Kerkez has been one of the league's top left-backs, Antoine Semenyo has been electrifying, Kepa Arrizabalaga has been an upgrade in goal, and Evanilson's first season has also been your 2024-25 Bournemouth player of the season from our shortlist hereAnd tell us why you're picking who you are, or why you'd have gone for another player not on the list, here Find more from Tom Jordan at Back of the Net, external

Bournemouth attacker Justin Kluivert has praised the club for delivering on the vision they used to attract his former Ajax player was signed by Bournemouth in 2023 and has been instrumental this season, chipping in with 12 goals and six assists in the Premier League. "They came to me and they knew what they wanted -, they didn't sell me lies," Kluivert told a special episode of BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "They sold me this [Bournemouth's new training facility], and they gave it to me. They sold me many more other things and they backed it up. I did my part, they did their part, and I think it's a very good match."The Dutchman also stated that his goal was to ply his trade in the Premier League even when coming through the ranks with European giants Ajax."If you are in the youth of Ajax, you are thinking about playing in the Premier League," he said.
