Bournemouth kept their Premier League survival hopes alive after coming from behind to beat Champions League-chasing Leicester 4-1 at the Vitality Stadium.
Jamie Vardy’s first-half strike (23) had put Leicester on course for all three points but a bizarre passage of play in the second half saw Bournemouth turn the game completely on its head.
Kasper Schmeichel’s poor goal-kick was the start of Leicester’s downfall as Wilfred Ndidi brought down Callum Wilson in the penalty area before Junior Stanislas converted from the penalty spot (66).
There were just 101 seconds between substitute Junior Stanislas netting Bournemouth’s equaliser from the penalty spot and Dominic Solanke putting the Cherries 2-1 up.
A minute later, things went from bad to worse for the visitors as Dominic Solanke’s shot crept into the back of the net (67) before Caglar Soyuncu received a straight red card for kicking out at Wilson as the striker attempted to retrieve the ball.
Bournemouth made the game safe inside the final 10 minutes as Jonny Evans’ own goal (83) and Solanke’s second of the night (87) sealed what could be a crucial three points for Eddie Howe’s side, who are now three points adrift of safety with three games to play.Advertisement
Leicester could drop out of the top four for the first time since September if Manchester United beat Southampton on Monday night, live on Sky Sports (kick-off 8pm).
