Bournemouth earn first Premier League win of campaign as Philip Billing beauty helps overcome Burnley

Bournemouth came from a goal down to beat fellow strugglers Burnley 2-1 and earn their first win of the Premier League campaign.

Vincent Kompany’s men took the lead after just 11 minutes, when Charlie Taylor scored his first goal for the Clarets when he struck past goalkeeper Andrei Radu from the edge of the box.

Marcus Tavernier then had a good chance to score for the hosts but squandered the opportunity, before Bournemouth levelled 11 minutes later when Antoine Semenyo seized on an error from Taylor to collect the ball and finish past James Trafford.

Dominic Solanke, Chris Mepham and Phillip Billing all then went close to putting the home side clear but it was not until the 76th minute that they went in front.

Billing took the ball close to the halfway line, and with Trafford off his line, the Danish midfielder was alive to the chance and sent a shot over the goalkeeper, who pawed at the ball but could not prevent it crossing the line.

Jay Rodriguez was ruled offside by VAR as he looked to have a late equaliser in the bag, but Burnley were unable to get another.

The win takes Bournemouth into 17th on six points, with Burnley in 19th, two points behind.
