The match began with Justin Kluivert opening the scoring in the ninth minute, firing a shot into the bottom corner after a swift counter-attack. 

Despite Nottingham Forest's attempts to equalise, including a close volley from Ryan Yates that was saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga, Bournemouth maintained control of the game.

• Ouattara's First Goal: Ten minutes after halftime, Ouattara met Kluivert’s cross with a precise header, doubling Bournemouth's lead.

• Disallowed Goal: Kluivert thought he had scored again shortly after, but VAR ruled him offside, denying a potential second goal.

• Second and Third Goals: Ouattara then wrote his name in the history books by scoring two more goals, one following a dazzling run past defenders and another capitalising on a mistake from Forest's goalkeeper, Matz Sels.

With this hat-trick, Ouattara not only became the first player from Burkina Faso to achieve this feat in the Premier League but also sealed a significant personal milestone in his career. 

He has now contributed 10 goal involvements this season (six goals and four assists), surpassing his total from his first two seasons combined.

Bournemouth’s victory extended their unbeaten streak to 11 matches, putting them just one point off the top four and reigniting hopes for a potential Champions League spot. 

The result was Nottingham Forest's first defeat in nine league matches, significantly impacting their title aspirations as they fell behind league leaders Liverpool.

Manager Andoni Iraola praised Ouattara’s performance, noting the importance of scoring first against a strong opponent.
