Fans could hardly believe their eyes when they spotted what TNT Sports displayed on the screen during Justin Kluivert’s post-match interview.
Kluivert, 25, scored a hat-trick before Milos Kerkez added a fourth in a 4-1 win for Bournemouth against Newcastle at St James’ Park on Saturday.
The result shocked the Magpies faithful, who left the ground in their droves ahead of the full-time whistle.
The win saw Bournemouth go level on points with fifth-place Chelsea, bolstering their chances of European qualification.

And despite the scoreline being surprising, fans at home were left further baffled by what was shown on their TV screens during the aftermath of the game.
While Kluivert was being interviewed by TNT Sports’ Jules Breach, a series of fan social media posts appeared on the screen.
But the name of one person in particular has stunned viewers.
One fan said: “Kluivert that’s one spectacular hat trick take a bow son."
And you may be wondering what is so special about this. But the person’s user name was ‘William M. Buttlicker’ to the bemusement of fans, who had their say on social media. Of course, if you were unaware, the name was used for a character in the popular sitcom 'The Office'.
One said: "I would describe him as aggressive, hostile and definitely difficult. His family built this country by the way."
Another added: "His family built this country."
A third explained: "How dare you! His family built this country by the way!"
And the culprit even took to X to voice their amusement at seeing their name on the broadcast.
"Did I just see my tweet on TNT Sports," they said.
"My name is actually Buttlicker, why did you remove it so swiftly?"
During season five, episode seven of the show, fictional character Michael Scott - played by Steve Carell - manages to sell $1,000,000 of paper to Mr Buttlicker.
The character is defined by The Office Wiki as "William M. Buttlicker is a character voiced by Jim Halpert during the episode 'Customer Survey'.
"He also goes by Bill Buttlicker, and is one of Dwight Schrute's biggest clients. Buttlicker is a hearing-impaired old man whose family built this country. Dwight made fun of his unfortunate surname, and Buttlicker was very offended.
"After Dwight disrespectfully yelled at him the iconic words 'BUTTLICKER! OUR PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN LOWER!' Buttlicker becomes very irate and describes Dwight as being aggressive, hostile, and difficult."
