AFC Bournemouth 2, Crystal Palace1
Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth
Seriously, for Eddie Howe and company this campaign his side is looking like an all-around contender and a defiant squad looking forward to fly high in the course of this contested campaign.
With today’s win at home in a sold out Vitality Stadium, the Cherries are looking good and hungry to climb the league table and occupy the top spots, as for Howe his aims for to nab a spot in the European theaters.
As today win puts the AFC in seventh place tied in total points with 13 along with Watford however, the goal differential for the Hornets separated these two squads, and trailing Arsenal in 5th place by two points.
Still these AFC is for real and ready to rock the living foundations of all Premierships!
With Crystal Palace in town and for Roy Hodgson and company was not an easy foe today and these proved it in the second half with the tying goal but in the end, these saw their efforts going down the drain with that penalty.
One thing I’ll tell you this was not a total yawner if not see its an all around contest from start to finish with these two titans not giving up on their desires to came up as victors and in the end only one came ahead as the lone victor.
After the first move performed by the local AFC side with an early goal by David Brooks via a pass from Callum Wilson and sending the whole of Vitality into a frenzy and putting the home side ahead early in the match.
With this score both squads went into the task of looking forward the draw or the go ahead goals, a both squads intensifying their contest in the field, the locals persevere until halftime and with the lead of just a lone goal.
However many in attendance were ready to a entertaining and much disputed second half with the Glaziers looking to tie this one up but in the end for Hodgson and company the idea was to net the whole three points on the road.
As the second half gave way immediately, the visiting London side going hard at work in several tries put the equalizer in the scoreboard after ten minutes gone by in the half and with a nice combination that involved the Eagles Talisman.
Coming on the left side was a determined Patrick Van Aanholt assisted via Wilfred Zaha that opportune moment caught by the Glaziers top man and serving toe the Dutch defender never hesitated to put the ball behind the nets defended by Asmir Begovic.
With the score tied at one goal apiece in the 55’ minute and seeing both sides defensive units coming strong, the outlook of this match ending in a draw was to be in the books in this Premiership Monday, still there was more to come.
As experience was against youth with Boscombe Eddie Howe in every match and campaign is seen as one future big name manager that can’t take over the National Team helm as well seen taken over a league giant.
The move paid off for Howe when he got Junior Stanislaus for Joshua King in the 84’ minute and three minutes later that Mamadou Sakho foul and yellow card gave way to the game winning goal and in a penalty in the 87’ minute.
In the end this match ended with three yellow cards per side in what seemed a total contest between these two sides and Bournemouth coming ahead with the win and three golden points, how far will they go in the campaign.
