Cherries up to second after late comeback | OneFootball

Bournemouth are up to second in the Premier League after coming from 1-0 down to win 3-1 against Fulham.

Fans had to wait until the 70th minute for goals on a wet day at the Vitality Stadium but when they came they were of real quality.

It was the visitors who took the lead after excellent work by Ryan Sessegnon who drove forward with the ball and played a one-two with substitute Samuel Chukwueze before a deft finish past Djordje Petrovic.

The Cherries drew level in the 78th minute after a wonderful solo effort from Antoine Semenyo. The winger picked up the ball on the left and muscled his way to the byline, managing to keep the ball in play, before cutting back on his right and shooting low into the net with the Fulham defence completely unable to handle him.

The turnaround was completed in the 84th minute and it was another excellent goal as Justin Kluivert, who had come on with an hour played, found himself on the edge of the area with time to pick his spot and rifle the ball into the net past Bernd Leno.

Andoni Iraola's side wrapped up the win late as Fulham pushed for a leveller. Ben Doak brought the ball forward after the Cottagers had committed men forward and waited until the time was right before unleashing Semenyo to put the game to bed in stoppage time.

The visitors will be frustrated to once again drop points from a winning position but Bournemouth showed their quality in a brilliant comeback.
