Bournemouth 3-0 Fulham: Solanke scores again as Cherries move into PL top half
In-form Dominic Solanke scored again as Bournemouth extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven matches with a comfortable 3-0 win over Fulham on Boxing Day.
Solanke's 62nd-minute penalty - his eighth goal in his last seven league games and 12th overall this season - doubled Bournemouth's lead after Justin Kluivert had opened the scoring just before half-time thanks to a driving run from the impressive Alex Scott (44).
Bournemouth came into the festive fixture having not lost since November 4 and a run of 22 points from the previous 27 available has seen Andoni Iraola's side rise from 19th to 10th in just eight weeks.
Fulham, who headed to the south coast on the back of two straight defeats, never looked like upsetting the hosts and their afternoon got even worse when substitute Luis Sinisterra's stunning strike from the edge of the area deep into stoppage time made it 3-0. Marco Silva's team stay 13th.
Bournemouth's next Premier League game is at Tottenham on New Year's Eve; kick-off 2pm. Andoni Iraola's team then travel to QPR in the FA Cup third round on Saturday, January 6; kick-off 3pm.
Fulham are next in Premier League action on Sunday when they host Arsenal, live on Sky Sports; kick-off 2pm. Marco Silva's side then host Rotherham in the FA Cup third round on Friday, January 5; kick-off 7.30pm.
