Bournemouth beats Sunderland 2-0 in Premier League
“The Mackems” soft centre was pummeled nearly immediately as Callum Wilson rolled Younes Kaboul with the ease of a ballroom dancer before firing past the hapless Costel Pantillimon after his teammates had neglected to pick up Dan Gosling from a throw-in.
The 23-year-old scored inside four minutes as the Cherries recorded their first home win in the Premier League – with the second goal a stunning volley from Matt Ritchie.
The final opportunity of the game fell to the home side when Marc Pugh’s injury-time effort was blocked, which fell perfectly for substitute Glen Murray but his effort was parried away by Pantilimon – however the damage had already been done.
Howe also praised Callum Wilson for his incredible start to the season with the Premier League bew boys.
“It is not nice to say, but the majority of the players we bought were not training and not in the team, so they did not play games and that is the reason we took them”, added Advocaat.
“I would love him to go on and make England appearances. They deserve every bit of the credit as well”.
Matt Ritchie gave the recently promoted Bournemouth a 2-0 lead early on against Sunderland with an absolute missile off the volley following a corner kick. “I am sure we will stay up though”. He said: “Honestly if you had asked me at the time, no. Obviously teams can develop, but at that time in terms of the stadium, the facilities around the place, you obviously wouldn’t have said that was a Premier League facility”.
So if we don’t want to see the possibility of us dropping into a relegation spot, we need to break the duck by beating them.
Dick Advocaat’s side have taken just two points from their opening six league games and sit below rivals Newcastle due to an inferior goal difference.
His shot was blocked, with half-time sub Jack Rodwell’s follow-up deflected wide for a 53rd minute corner.
“We started badly and didn’t recover”.
Meanwhile, some fans are keen to see the younger players given a chance – with the Capital One Cup third round match against Manchester City to come on Tuesday night. They really try to win games, which is how they finished the Championship season – scoring so many goals with that attacking threat.
