What a response, what a win. Fully deserved, tight but deserved. Bournemouth started strong but really the only chance they had there was the Jansson clearance because the attempt after had no shot thanks to great defending from Rico.

Weve had shot after shot tonight and tbh could have scored 1-2 in the last 5-10 mins. Bournemouth had possession and pressure for a bit in the second but had nothing about them, completely stifled by our defence. Many a team over the last two seasons have had their attack dismantled by Ethan Pinnock and tonight was no different.

Lovely little turn and cross from Mbeumo and a good and well needed goal from Fosu. Toney a force all game and they are lucky the ref wasn’t showing yellows cos a couple of their players should have been on them cos of Toney alone.

Bournemouth have clearly got Premier League talent there and Josh King showed that instantly but again we shut him out well. Talk of the half was them at they were trying to keep Rico close to our defence and not bomb forward cos he’s so dangerous...problem with that is that he’s the best left back in the league next to the best defensive partnership, keep him back and you’ll struggle to do anything great.

3 points well earned, another win during a busy period, mentality is so strong, this team is thriving. Come on you Bees

Little edit: we’re 7 points better off this season than we were last season...when you think of that 7 game win run to have the chance to leapfrog West Brom last year that should have been it for our promotion...but now we’re trying to cut down on that difference we were behind which I think was about 10 or so points.

You are notorious slow starters that normally rally in the second half of the season so you've actually put yourself in the best position at this stage than you have done for a while 

Also, Mbuemo has been quiet for you this year but last couple home games now it's a bit like a switch has been flicked on him and he's come alive.

I think it’s been difficult for anyone to start quickly this year with the amount of games played weekly in the Championship this year, but I think we’ve got our heads round the slog of it this year as Bournemouth had 11 days off prior to playing us last night and really couldn’t make it count.

Mbeumo is frustrating, a clear star talent who lost confidence towards the end of last season. He also benefitted last year from a clear style of play with Watkins and Benrahma, Benrahma playing meant Mbeumo was a lot more free to go about his business. It’s taken a while but he’s starting to find his own again this season and more importantly he’s playing in a way that’s not just cut and shoot
