In a thrilling encounter at the Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth celebrated their inaugural Premier League triumph under Andoni Iraola with a stunning 2-1 comeback against Burnley. The match began with a bang as Charlie Taylor netted Burnley’s opener just 11 minutes in, sending shockwaves through the home crowd.
However, Bournemouth swiftly responded, with the talented Antoine Semenyo leveling the score with a brilliant strike, showcasing his exceptional skills.
The game’s momentum shifted dramatically in the second half, as Bournemouth seized control of the proceedings. Their dominance was emphatically underlined by Philip Billing, who astutely spotted Burnley’s goalkeeper James Trafford out of position.
Billing capitalized on this opportunity with a jaw-dropping long-range lob in the 76th minute, sending the home supporters into raptures. Yet, the match was not without controversy. Burnley’s Jay Rodriguez appeared to have salvaged a point with a composed finish deep into stoppage time.
However, after an agonizing six-minute VAR review, the goal was disallowed due to an offside call, leaving Burnley’s hopes shattered. Sander Berge made a valiant attempt to salvage a draw for Vincent Kompany’s side, but Bournemouth held firm, clinching the vital victory.
The win proved pivotal for Bournemouth and their manager Andoni Iraola, with team owner Bill Foley watching anxiously from the stands. This triumph catapulted the Cherries out of the Premier League relegation zone after 10 matches, while Burnley found themselves languishing in 19th place.
