another form of former player
offender Tyrone, mix
both sets of players take a knee
ahead of kickoff
that will only happen on selected games this season as
agreed by the Premier League captains
and we are underway AFC Bournemouth back in
Big-time
back facing Aston Villa at home in their Opening match.
Now, the first quarter of the afternoon goes the way
of the home side
here comes that corner
in towards the captain Kelly. It's a free shot.
What a stunning start
to see former
inside, two minutes, Jefferson lover, lashing, the ball home.
I'm done for the corner kick, what a start for Scott Walker &
Company. Well, they can aside any better Gary could digest,
what of calling it, The shrift, it up to the fireplace.
If you lose that important first ball,
really going to get in trouble. They'll find me for lunch.
This all-important. First of all,
she headed back it and the danger area falls out for
lovers pulled out and he smashes it home gleefully,
doesn't he
what a start for Bournemouth.
They do need that for the airport, really their
confidence. But that first hit is the most important one, and
then it's all about that. Second ball,
all stridently, slightly flexion,
and their one are
beautifully taken by the Colombian.
Take it away from Tyrone means. Is
cash with the ball forward. Helpfully flicked on into
the path of Danny ings.
Ramsey did really well to findings are dismal. Stop from
Travis
razor-sharp already Jennings. I thought he's gonna take this
one early, Gary look, little flick on from Bailey. I think
he's gonna hit that right full volley. With drags it inside
gets his shot away.
What a signing is being after his move from Spurs, all
the way back in 2014.
I've got their money's worth their
here. Solanki lets it run. Its Jordan Zamora
solanki, good stop for Martinez solanki. Again,
blasted that into the face of the defender
the tempo to this game is absolutely thrilling.
Here they come. Again,
that's a decent ball in as well, from Tavernier, it's
another quarter. Well, boating struggling at the offender,
the moment. Adding some anchors confidence to wear the open
world of the way took it down. Inside Glacier way, good save.
As you said from
from Travers, going doubt,
sorry Martinez going down to his left as he pulls it inside
gets his shot away. That's a good little snapshot, isn't it
a good save, but
it's fantastic that I started this game.
He suddenly looked very sharp and preseason cash.
Too deep diinya or try and collect
things is their
goal kick. Yeah, it didn't seem a lot of communication there
from Kelly towards method because Danielle's come running
and got across him. He look like he's jumping thinking. He
had a free header here about them but he comes running
across him. That's where the information is. Got to be good
and strong because things will get in between Defenders come
across them. And before, you know, it get in front of them.
You have to communicate as a free.
Third corner for Villa Bailey.
Again,
coutinho.
And now Ramsey
all difficult for the goalkeeper pushed away to
Bailey's offside.
Wasn't quite struck perfectly. Was it which made it a little
bit difficult for the keeper there? Travis, you just popped
up awkwardly, which is a
doesn't do that much. Doesn't it on these surfaces? They
normally skid through, but it just popped up look and
a little bit of Top Spin on it. If you like, because it was
kind of a little bit of a miss. It pops up awkwardly there,
that's will get it away from the danger area.
French International trying to get that cross in headed Away
by billing.
The clumsy one from Tavernier taking quickly by buendia.
That's a good try.
Well, he decided to take that on boubacar Kamara.
His strike as well Gary because he had plenty of time. But
others when deer being really bright free-kick, nice and
early Taps, it off to him look just at doesn't waste time gets
a bit of Road cuts across the shot
was trying to get it into that far Corner because of course it
just slightly too much. Doesn't even finish that a keeper
Travis. He's got a cupboard but was a good attempt.
Steven Gerrard looking at a double change by the looks of
things, Douglas Louise and
We'll have the free kick here is Tavernier, has brought down
by Kamara.
So silly fouls, it like a more of those no need. There's no
nowhere to go.
Now, they've got one we've just over 10 minutes to go
Tavernier.
Billing,
the Kelly.
Straight back in towards more.
Who's go
back to the big time, my fellow got them off to a winning start
here at saury header.
So, make it to Nils of on the
really good header as well. Good Cross by pinning is cut
back on his left, for this near side, hold it in, but really
anything in the air today, they have been soft as anything.
That's the dealer
in both penalty errors.
Of course, the first goal came from the corner and the second
goals are really a three hitter.
He comes out to this right hand side. It comes back onto his,
their Port building goes
to free head and he directs it back into the 442
good header. And
it is not really any chance, but where's the Defenders? So,
I had the ball all leaving it up to each other, not all
backing off.
Make cash back in off. So, two Defenders back.
No, this is Paul defending for a villa today. They paid dearly
Sunil Bournemouth.
Free will add a little bit on know,
there's the fall time, whistle,
what? A spectacular return to the Premier League, the AFC
Bournemouth
and opening day Victory, and a clean sheet
against Steven Gerrard's, Aston Villa, they were in front
inside, two minutes
and Jefferson lover,
lashed in, from the corner,
and then keep them all outstanding throughout
headed in spectacularly from a free-kick to make it to New.
With ten minutes left,
Aston Villa, rarely threatens,
and they will need a very big Improvement before they face
Everton at home next week, the bomber who have this hat trick
of
very tough looking pictures coming on.
Well, they go into that on the back of a terrific performance
and an even better result. Joy for Scott Parker in the South
Coast sunshine, it's finished AFC Bournemouth to
Ashton villanelle.
