Bournemouth of England’s Nigerian-born duo of Dominic Solanke and Philip Anyanwu Billing both failed to hit target on Wednesday, and their side settled for a barren draw with Peterborough United.
Megasportsarena.com reports that, with Solanke and Billing failing to replicate their goals scoring feats of last weekend, The Cherries struggled for form at Weston Homes Stadium and missed the chance of going top of the table.
A game of few chances saw neither goalkeeper seriously tested, with the visitors missing the chance to climb back above West Bromwich Albion, who had won 4-0 against Cardiff City a day earlier.
The result also kept up Peterborough’s impressive home form, with all of their eight points this season coming at home, although they failed to climb out of the relegation places after failing to score.
In the end, they were relieved to see Solanke miss two late chances, with the Cherries striker failing to add to his seven goals this season.
The visitors were on a four-match winning run in the league but created little in a competitive first half.
Their best chance fell to Manchester City loanee Morgan Rogers who burst into the area, but his shot at the near post was saved by Dai Cornell in the Peterborough goal.
The home side were, though, indebted to substitute Conor Coventry who blocked a goal-bound shot from Jaidon Anthony after he had been teed up by Solanke.
The former Liverpool and Chelsea striker then had a chance to win it 10 minutes from time as the visitors kept up the pressure on the Peterborough goal, but after pouncing on a loose ball he fired over from inside the area.
Solanke then headed over from a 90th-minute corner as Bournemouth’s winning run came to an end, leaving them second in the league behind West Brom on goal difference.
