For the second week in a row, our POTW honour goes to a Bournemouth star for their hat-trick heroics.

Following Justin Kluivert claiming the match ball the previous week with his treble against Newcastle, this time it was the turn of Ouattara in the Cherries' sensational 5-0 win over third-placed Nottingham Forest.

With injuries to both Evanilson and Enes Ünal, Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has turned to Ouattara recently to fill the void in attack and step up in an unfamiliar role.

What followed was very much a case of Dango unchained.

A magnificent leap and header saw him claim his first of the afternoon to ease any woes about how his side might cope in the final third before seeing off the attentions of defenders for his second and then making history with a reactionary finish in hitting his hat-trick.

In doing so, the Burkina Faso ace became the 47th different nationality to contribute a player to score three times in a single Premier League game.

All that from an xG of just 1.04 showed just how ruthless the stand-in striker, again showcasing his utility talents, was against a defence who were the second best in the division prior to kick-off.

"I think he has been very good in all of the games, the four that he has played for us a number nine," Iraola told the BBC afterwards.

"He's playing really well. He's been a threat and he also helps us with the link-up play. We can use him in many positions and he helped us to get a great result."

Regardless of the position he is asked to play, the 22-year-old continues to deliver.

He is undoubtedly one of the most versatile players in the Premier League.
