Bournemouth of England striker, Dominic Solanke kept going on all cylinders, as he fired home his 22nd goal of the season in the lower cadre English Championship and helped The Cherries edge closer to promotion.
Solanke’s goal, which came late in added time fo the first half, played a key role in helping Bournemouth move back into the automatic promotion places with a 2-0 triumph over relegation-threatened Derby County.
Megasportsarena.com reports that Solanke’s close-range strike in first-half stoppage time and substitute Jamal Lowe’s 90th-minute goal saw Scott Parker’s men return to winning ways after two games without a victory.
Derby survived an injury scare early on when Lee Buchanan needed lengthy treatment following an aerial duel with Ryan Christie before eventually being given the all-clear to continue.
That came after the visitors had the first shot on goal in the 12th minute as Nigerian-born teenager, Malcolm Ebiowei cut in from the right wing before drilling a shot into the arms of Mark Travers at his near post.
Three minutes later, Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Christie fired a 20-yard free-kick into the Rams wall after Lewis Cook was brought down.
Soon after, Luke Plange could not get his close-range shot on target after being picked out by the lively Ebiowei.
Bournemouth came close to breaking the deadlock 13 minutes before half-time when Christie curled an effort just over the crossbar from 19 yards.
It took some bravery from Allsop to deny the Cherries moments later, clawing the ball off the head of Jefferson Lerma after Ryan Christie had nodded down Anthony’s cross at the far post.
Derby had another close escape in the 42nd minute when Lerma flashed a dangerous cross along the six-yard box.
Defender Eiran Cashin also had to make a brilliant block tackle to prevent Todd Cantwell’s teasing delivery reaching Solanke as Bournemouth piled on the pressure late in the first half.
The Cherries finally got the lead they deserved in stoppage time as Solanke lashed home from close range after a brilliant solo run from Anthony created the chance.
Lowe then wrapped up the win in the final minute of normal time, reacting quickest to fire home the rebound after Allsop had parried away Solanke’s initial shot.
