Bournemouth Football Club clinched a convincing 3-0 win over Brighton, reaching their highest top-flight points total in the process. Enes Unal made an impactful Premier League debut for the Cherries, contributing to their commanding victory.
The home side took an early lead with Marcos Senesi’s header in the 13th minute, capitalizing on Brighton’s defensive lapse from a corner. Unal, making his presence felt, cleverly headed Dango Ouattara’s cross into the far corner to double Bournemouth’s lead after the break, showcasing his attacking prowess.
Justin Kluivert sealed the victory late in the game with a powerful left-footed strike past Bart Verbruggen, securing his third goal in three home games. Despite Brighton’s attempts, they were unable to muster meaningful chances, with their lackluster performance reflecting in their inability to trouble the Bournemouth defense.
The win propels Bournemouth to 48 points, surpassing their previous top-flight points record from the 2016-17 season. Meanwhile, Brighton’s struggles continue as they remain in 12th place, with just six wins in their last 28 league games, raising concerns about their season’s trajectory.
