Winners

Justin Kluivert

The Dutchman scored two penalties in the first half, before making history with the third in the second half.

It is 67 years since a top-flight player scored three penalties in the same match, and former Chelsea defender Cundy was left almost speechless by his feat.

He said: “It's not often you see history made in the Premier League, especially at this stage when you think about the history of how long the Premier League has been alive.

“But the first player to score a penalty hat-trick, and I think I'm right in saying that Evanilson is the first player to win a penalty hat-trick in the same match.

“He must be furious that he doesn't take pens, but you know what? It's all about taking it, so kudos to Kluivert.”

Daniel Muñoz

The Colombian right back missed a goal in the first half, but made amends by rescuing a point for the Eagles in dramatic fashion with his header too hot for Nick Pope to stop.

His point-blank mistake led former Tottenham midfielder O'Hara to say: “I was going to attack our losers!”

Cundy then commented: “You missed a chance, wait until you see this, it's at the back post, it's on your left foot, the goal is open, it comes off the tip of your toe, you don't get good contact, if you hit the objective is a goal.

“But you lose your job and you think: 'Will he be among the losers?'

“Well, no, he manages with the last header of the game to get out of the losers and into the winners.”

Kevin Schade

The 23-year-old scored his first Premier League goals of the season against the Foxes after failing to find the back of the net in the previous 12 games this season.

Schade scored twice in the first half to help seal Brentford's comeback, before securing victory in the 59th minute.

Speaking about the four-cap German international, Cundy said: “A hat-trick for him, you talk about Ivan Toney leaving Brentford, 'Where are the goals going to come from?'

“Well, Kevin Schade steps forward.”

Their hat-trick at the Gtech Community Stadium has allowed Thomas Frank's men to move up to seventh place in the standings.

Losers

Jarred Gillett

The Australian referee was on VAR duty for Southampton's clash with Brighton, in which the Saints were denied a late goal.

Cameron Archer thought he had fired Russell Martin's men ahead but VAR ruled that an offside by Adam Armstrong was in the line of sight of Seagulls goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

Cundy expressed his opinion on the incident: “By the letter of the law, Archer's goal was disallowed because Armstrong was in an offside position.

“So being in an offside position on the field of play is not a crime in itself, you can be in an offside position in an offside position, that's when you become active.

“And the VAR considered that Armstrong became active when he tried to play the ball with his heel when the ball was behind him.

“Personally I think the objective should be maintained, but they have chosen the letter of the law.

“Have you tried to touch the ball? You have to say yes, but then they try to say that it hit Verbruggen, I don't believe it, because the ball was behind Armstrong.”

The Wolves goalkeeper, who clashed with his own followersHe was guilty of a poor performance at Molineux, giving away the second and third penalties to Bournemouth.

He inadvertently took out Evanilson after the Brazilian advanced the ball to him, before colliding with him later in the game.

Commenting on his display, O'Hara said: “José Sa obviously deserves to be there today, he's had a howler, he's had a stinker.

“There's no way around it, it cost his team today.”

Cundy then added: “He's done it. For him to stop on the ball, you have to give Evanilson credit, he's smart, he's a quick guy, he reads it and gets there.

“José Sa decided to kick him in the ankle, and then in the second half, Evanilson passes, Evanilson is 60/40 in his favor.

“José Sa appears and slides it down, not even close to the ball, pretending that he received a small blow to the head to try to throw the referee off.

“The referee did not agree, sanctioned and reprimanded.”
