Fulham look a real threat and it's Reiss Nelson who breaks forward and fires a low shot at Dean Henderson.

WHAT A MISS!

Ryan Christie has been at the centre of everything good about Bournemouth so far and he's involved again.

A superb curling ball picks out Marcos Senesi, who times his run perfectly to get in behind at the back post.

He stabs at it with his left foot though and skews it over the bar. Should he have gone with his right? Probably.

Ryan Manning has absolutely smashed that into the top corner. There was a little melee in the Wolves box, Nelson Semedo is down hoping for a free kick, but that is more in hope than expectation. The ball rolls towards Manning at the back post and he wasn't hanging around.

The first serious save of the match!

Everton have been lively and Lukasz Fabianski has to get down to keep out Iliman Ndiaye.

The Toffees have had five attempts already.

The goal is chalked off as Mateus Fernandes has been judged to have fouled Nelson Semedo. Could have been a foul either way if you ask me.

Russell Martin not happy in the Southampton dug out.

It's all Bournemouth.

Ryan Christie finds space in the Brentford half and rakes the ball out to Antoine Semenyo on the right.

He drives at his full-back and curls towards goal, but Mark Flekken is away get down and palm behind for a corner.

Brentford clear that easily, though.

That's outstanding defending!

Everton catch West Ham on the counter and the visitors are steaming forward in numbers.

That goal has set us up for a really good game. It could have been nervy and cagey but with that goal Southampton have come out started playing. Wolves have dropped deep.

Jean-Philippe Mateta is down and wanting a penalty but the Frenchman can keep wanting. Good goalkeeping from Bernd Leno.

Southampton have been the masters of their own downfall this season and will have cause to curse themselves again.

Before today they had made six mistakes leading to goals, the highest in the division, while have face 13 shots following errors - again a league high.

Kyle Walker-Peters' header - which Matheus Cunha seized on - could fall into that category and Saints failed to recover well enough. The space opened up and they allowed Cunha to run from the halfway line unchallenged to set up Pablo Sarabia.

Brilliant from Ryan Christie.

He collects a deflected cross and shows some excellent footwork to force his way through a crowded penalty area.

He ends up with space on the left and his effort is tipped away by Mark Flekken.

Everton have started on the front foot.

Idrissa Gueye has an attempt which bobbles wide while Lucas Paqueta is down hurt.

West Ham haven't really got going. That's Michail Antonio and Paqueta who have gone down in the early stages.

Oooo that was a decent little corner routine from Southampton. It ended with Adam Armstrong whipping one first time towards the top corner but it drifts wide.

He took it really well. Cunha drove through excellently. Sarabia took a really nice touch and finished nicely. What a start for O'Neil, exactly what he wanted and needed.

Alex Iwobi has a burst through the Crystal Palace midfield and he chips it on to Raul Jimenez, but his spinning effort drifts wide.

Bournemouth are starting to dominate possession and a lovely crossfield pass finds Antoine Semenyo on the right.

His deflected cross is recycled to Lewis Cook about 25 yards out, but his curling effort is headed away by Nathan Collins.

Matheus Cunha is so direct, drives into the Southampton half and everyone just backs off him.

It's Pablo Sarabia who runs in behind, Aaron Ramsdale rushes out to him but he touches the ball around him and rolls it into the net. What a fantastic start for Wolves.
