Match

No end in sight to Bournemouth's wait for a win

17 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Bournemouth has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Simon Moore damages knee ligaments — 138 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 138 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Daniel Jebbison says Bournemouth went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings

Justin Kluivert scores twice — 8.45

Two goals and a mark of 8.45 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Álex Jiménez is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Tempers go at Bournemouth

Tyler Adams was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

6 goals as Bournemouth and Wolverhampton go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Bournemouth and Wolverhampton, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match

Bournemouth come up short against Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton left with the points after a 2‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Bournemouth

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

In brief
