Bournemouth 4-2 Leicester

The Cherries crushed Leicester in a 4-2 win at the Vitality Stadium. The reason I say crushed was cause Bournemouth was up 3-0 at halftime and Leicester’s two goals were both during garbage time. Ryan Fraser had a brace, Joshua King scored from the spot, and defender Adam Smith got the fourth to get Eddie Howe to 10 points in five matches.

Leicester struggled massively in this match and will be without Wes Morgan next weekend at home against Huddersfield after his red card. As for Bournemouth, they are one of five teams that end matchday five with at least 10 points this season. The Cherries will go to Burnley to try and silence the Clarets and get their fourth win of 2018-19.
