Bournemouth goes third after battling victory
First-half goals from Nathan Ake and Harry Wilson were added to late on by Callum Wilson as Bournemouth claimed a 3-1 win at Southampton on Saturday (AEST) to go third in the Premier League table.
The Saints kept Bournemouth at bay for just 10 minutes, as Ake beat Kevin Danso in the air from a Diego Rico corner to power a header home.
Joshua King thought he had made it 2-0 just before the half-hour mark, only for a VAR (video assistant referee) review to disallow it for offside.
Bournemouth did not have to wait much longer, however, as Wilson guided Philip Billing's cut-back into the bottom-right corner with 35 minutes played.
Saints pulled one back from the spot through James Ward-Prowse early in the second half after Steve Cook had clumsily tripped Che Adams.
Bournemouth was controversially denied a spot-kick of its own when Cedric Soares sent King tumbling after an hour.
Although the Saints piled the pressure on towards the end, a calamitous mix-up between goalkeeper Angus Gunn and Jan Bednarek in stoppage-time allowed Wilson to wrap up a first ever win away to Southampton.
