Bournemouth hero Ryan Fraser: That's for you Mum!

Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser is buzzing after his goalscoring performance in victory over Liverpool.

The 22-year-old Scot declared himself 'the happiest player in Dean Court' after he turned the match against Liverpool on its head.

He was brought down by James Milner in the area to win a penalty with his first touch, provided an assist and scored — all in the space of 35 minutes.

"It is one of the happiest moments of my life," said Fraser. "My mum is down from Aberdeen. She maybe comes down once or twice a season. This is the first time she has been down and I got the goal.

"She got time off work and she wanted to come and see me. I have a dog which she loves as well. She probably comes down to see the dog as much as me!"
