WATCH: Burnley 3-2 Bournemouth
Sunday 11 December 2016 00:19, UK
Turf Moor claimed a fifth victim of the season as goals from Jeff Hendrick, Stephen Ward and George Boyd sent a battling Bournemouth home empty handed from Burnley.
The Clarets deserved their win, with Hendrick's sumptuous dipping volley the pick of the goals, and have now taken 16 of their 17 points here in Lancashire, a home record to envy at either end of the table.
Benik Afobe had made it 2-1 in first-half injury time and Bournemouth briefly threatened to mimic their late comeback against Liverpool last week when Charlie Daniels buried brilliantly in the 90th minute, but this time they fell short and
lost 3-2.
The match marked a return for Eddie Howe to the side he managed briefly in and also the first ever Premier League contest between the sides.
