AFC Bournemouth vs Southampton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Bournemouth secure an impressive 3-1 victory at home to Southampton at the Vitality Stadium. The Cherries, who produced 1.38 expected goals, opened the scoring in the first half as Evanilson latched on to a clever free-kick from Tavernier, and he fired past Ramsdale on the volley and into the back of the net. It didn't take long for the Cherries to find their second, with Ouattara deflecting Cook's shot past the Southampton goalkeeper to make it 2-0. Iraola's side found a third before the break as Semenyo worked the ball onto his right and fired an inch-perfect shot into the bottom corner. The Saints, who created just 0.6 expected goals throughout, improved in the second half and found a consolation through a Harwood-Bellis header, but it wasn't enough for them to mount a comeback. Up next for Bournemouth is a trip to Leicester City on Saturday, while Southampton will travel to Arsenal. That's all for today, goodbye!
