90'+5'

FINAL SCORE: ALBION 2 BOURNEMOUTH 1

A really good win against a good side. Joao and Welbz score their seventh goals of the season and Albion are up to eighth after a third successive League win.
90'+4'

KEPA UP FOR A CORNER...

... and gets his head on it but Verbruggen comes through a crowd scene to claim.
90'+2'

KLUIVERT FIRES OVER

The Dutchman lines up another strike from outside the box but this time it's well over the target.

Substitution

Mats Wieffer replaces Carlos Baleba.

EASY ONE FOR VERBRUGGEN

van Hecke is deemed to have fouled Evanilson on the edge of the box. Tavernier takes and passes it to Semenyo, who doesn't quite catch it as he'd like and sends a daisy cutter straight into Verbruggen's hands.

Goal!

Welbeck
WHAT AN IMPACT!!! Georginio threads a lovely pass through the Bournemouth defence and Welbeck squeezes it past Kepa and into the bottom right corner!

Substitution

TRIPLE ALBION CHANGE. Jack Hinshelwood, Yasin Ayari and Danny Welbeck are on for Diego Gomez, Joao Pedro and Pervis Estupinan.
69'

WORLD CLASS FROM VERBRUGGEN

Bournemouth should be in front. Tavernier's shot from the edge of the box deflects into the path of Scott for what looks like a tap in, but Verbruggen dives across to somehow keep it out. Unbelievable save. The Cherries can't quite believe it.
65'

OUATARRA SMASHES WIDE

Webster shows Ouatarra down the side of the box and the Bournemouth winger powers at the Albion defence. It's a good piece of defending as Ouatarra is always going to shoot and when he does, he sends it well wide of goal.
61'
RoundArrow

Goal

That is an absolutely brilliant strike from Kluivert, who bends it into the top right corner from the edge of the box. Nothing Verbruggen could do about that.
60'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

The Bournemouth forward finally goes into the book for fouling Lamptey. That must be his fifth foul of the night.
59'

TERRIFIC TURN FROM GEORGINIO

The Frenchman looks as if he's going to pass it backwards, but instead turns his man and runs at goal before looking to bend in a strike from 20 yards, but it hits the foot of Joao Pedro, unfortunately for Albion.
56'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Jan Paul van Hecke goes into the book for tripping Kerkez on the flank. It's a really unlucky one for the Dutchman as he's focussed on Semenyo who is in possession, with Kerkez rather dramatically throwing himself to the ground to win the free-kick.
51'

KLUIVERT CURLS WIDE

Minteh slides in on Kluivert but misses both the man and the ball and the Bournemouth man has space to work. He's as close as you can get to the byline and the obvious option is to cross, but he tries to whip it in, sending it wide of the opposite post.
47'

VAN HECKE HEADS OVER

Minteh's cross is met by the head of van Hecke but he sends it well wide. The Dutchman is still waiting for his first Albion goal.

VAN HECKE LOVES IT

Kerkez looks as if he's going to get down the left, but he's halted in brilliant fashion by van Hecke who slides in. The Albion man gets up and roars at the crowd who respond.
45'

FOUR MINUTES ADDED TIME

37'

MITOMA HITS THE POST

That's so good from Albion. Joao Pedro finds Lamptey down the right and the full-back's cross is perfect, finding the boot of Mitoma who volleys it against the post! The visitors get it clear. Good game this.
32'

SEMENYO SHOULD EQUALISE

That's a wonderful opportunity for the visiting striker as he races in one-on-one with Bart Verbruggen. His penultimate touch takes him wide though and his powerful shot is is nearly straight at Bart, who does well to divert it away from danger. Wasted chance for the Cherries.
32'

WEBSTER GETS IN THE WAY

Kluivert has a go from the edge of the box but Webster positions himself well to get his body in the way. Bournemouth have asked a few more games of Albion since going behind.
26'
RoundArrow

Substitution

Early change for Bournemouth. Christie has to be replaced by Scott.
21'

MINTEH FIRES STRAIGHT AT KEPA

Georginio flicks the ball into the feet of Minteh on the edge of the area. The Gambia international cuts in and shoots low at goal, but it's straight down the throat of Kepa.

JOAO FIRES IN FROM 12 YARDS!!! Kepa dives to his left, Joao sends it the other way. Albion 1, Bournemouth 0. A terrific start from the hosts.

KEPA BRINGS DOWN JOAO PEDRO, PENALTY TO ALBION!

GLORIOUS CHANCE FOR MITOMA

Diego Gomez threads a pass through the eye of a needle for Mitoma into the box, but the Japan international guides his effort wide of the bottom right corner!
8'

GEORGINIO HEADS WIDE

Good spell of attack there from Albion. Minteh's cross is half cleared by the fist of Kepa, with Georginio first to the loose ball. He tries to head it in from eight yards with Kepa well off his line, but it bounces wide.
2'

TERRIFIC VERBRUGGEN SAVE

Baleba loses possession in the middle of the pitch and Bournemouth pour forward. Christie gets into the box and hammers a shot at goal from left, aiming for the bottom right, but Verbruggen gets a strong palm on it to tip it away.
