AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Kelly is harshly penalised for felling Doherty as Wolves try to break down the right, and a free-kick is awarded to the visitors, who have yet to manage a shot on target - although Pedro Neto did strike the crossbar.
AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
CLOSE! Sweeping forward at speed, Pedro Neto reaches the edge of Bournemouth's area and lays the ball off for Cunha on the left. Instead of shooting, though, the latter inexplicably pulls it back towards his colleague and allows Billing to block it behind for a corner. What a waste!

Though Doherty manages to block Cook's driving run towards the area, Solanke picks the ball up and nearly forced his way through into a shooting position. However, nothing ultimately comes of the situation.
AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Cunha sends a simple crossfield pass to Doherty on the right touchline straight out of play, and both men make it clear to each other that they think they weren't personally at fault. It's more frustration for Wolves.

Traore is too eager to win the ball off Solanke in midfield, and the Wolves midfielder brings his opponent tumbling down to the turf. It's another free-kick, as a previously wide-open game starts to lose its momentum.

Arriving just too late to steal the ball, opening goalscorer Solanke is penalised for a clear foul on Dawson just outside Wolves' area, and that will be a free-kick to the away side.

Solanke has now been involved in five of Bournemouth’s six Premier League goals this season (four of his own and one assist), boasting the highest ratio of any player in the division this term.
