Bournemouth vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after Sinisterra scores stunning third
Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth host Fulham in the Premier League looking to build on their excellent run of results.
Adoni Iraola has inspired three successive wins for the Cherries, including a win behind Dominic Solanke’s hat-trick last time out at Nottingham Forest.
The Whites will want to bounce back after a defeat at home to Burnley last time out, and both sides will want the points to separate themselves from the relegation zone.
Alex Scott and Justin Kluivert both return to the starting line-up at the Vitality Stadium. While Raul Jimenez serves the final game of a three-match ban, so Rodrigo Muniz leads the line for the visitors.

Muniz controls a pass from Leno and finds Cairney on the right-hand side. He has Tete on the overlap but cuts inside onto his stronger left foot, sending a searching delivery towards the back post. However, it evades all of his team-mates and trickles behind for a goal-kick. The Cottages are struggling with their end product.

Fulham keep possession on the left-hand side, with Pereira and Iwobi exchanging passes. The ball eventually finds Robinson on the left who bursts past his marker and gets to the byline, but his delivery into the box is well-held by Neto and Bournemouth are able to regain possession.

The travelling support aren't happy, and the Cherries are able to clear the danger. The ball eventually comes to Robinson once again on the left, but his delivery is too strong.

Despite going into the break at 1-0, the Cherries have created just 0.59 expected goals (xG) since the game got underway, with 0.25 xG coming from Kluivert's goal. Silva will be incredibly disappointed by how little his side have created. The Cottagers have managed just one shot on target so far. Could we see Fulham make an attacking change early in the second half, with Wilson and Vinicius waiting on the bench?

Bournemouth go into the break with a 1-0 lead over Fulham at the Vitality Stadium. It's been a game of minimal chances for both sides, but Scott was the man to show some quality, grabbing the game by the horns. The young midfielder danced through multiple defenders deep inside the Fulham half, before slotting the ball into the path of Kluivert, who buried it home. Neither manager will be over the moon with how their team played in the opening 45 minutes, but the Cherries have a narrow lead despite their lack of chances.
