Bournemouth thumped five goals past spiraling Brighton to return to winning ways on Saturday.

Goals from Dan Gosling, Ryan Fraser, David Brooks, Callum Wilson and Junior Stanislas secured a thumping 5-0 victory for the visitors. A red card for Anthony Knockaert saw the hosts end the game with ten men.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said, "I'm really really pleased with the performance today. It's been a difficult run and we know the importance of today's win.

"Once we got the first goal, I saw a different us. We were more confident, a cohesive unit and it was a much improved second half.

"Our goals today were trademark us, which was the pleasing thing. The first goal was a great team goal and it was nice to see Dan [Gosling] score.

"In the second half, we gelled and linked up well around the box so I'll enjoy watching the goals back later tonight."
