Commentary
It's all over at the Vitality Stadium, as two absolutely vital errors from Leeds United gift Bournemouth the goals which seal a 2–0 win!! The hosts had taken a lead into the break after Kluivert and Evanilson pounced on Trafford's errant pass, and Bournemouth's confidence grew further over the course of the 90 minutes, with 1.24 xG produced in total. Tavernier, Rayan, Adams and Rodriguez all tested Trafford again over the course of the second half, with Leeds producing 0.67 xG at the other end through Justin, Nmecha, Longstaff and Stach late on. Petrovic was hardly put to work by the Whites' frontline, however, with Calvert-Lewin kept under wraps after his disallowed goal in the first half, before Adli started and finished a stoppage-time move to double Bournemouth's lead at the death. Goals in either half secure a result which makes it six wins on the spin for Bournemouth in all competitions, and three in a row in the Premier League, lifting the Cherries up to seventh in the table. They leapfrog Leeds in the process, with the Whites slipping to ninth following a run of five games without a win, just two goals scored, and now their second loss of a season which is already showing signs of a slide.
FULL-TIME: BOURNEMOUTH 2–0 LEEDS UNITED.
Kroupi could've well gone for goal himself there – as he did at Elland Road to score in injury time last season – but weighted his pass perfectly to put Adli clean through!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLL!!!! Adli adds the icing on the Cherries' cake!!! Longstaff loses out to the Moroccan in midfield, and after he links up with Tavernier and Kroupi to his left, Adli is found in the box by his fellow substitute and slots into the bottom corner!! A 2–0 scoreline will seal it for Bournemouth, with Leeds caught out at the back and made to pay for it once again!
BLOCKED!! Aaronson's right-sided cross is deflected and bobbles back into the path of Stach, whose strike on the half-volley also takes a block or two bounce behind for a corner!
SAVED!! That would've wrapped things up for Bournemouth! Rodriguez races onto Hill's high ball in behind and steps away from Elvedi before firing goalwards, but Trafford gets down to save in his bottom-right corner and keep the scores at 1–0!
