The home side are worthy winners collecting a deserved three points. Sunderland drop to the bottom.

A late yellow for Glenn Murray.

Glenn Murray with a nice turn and shot - making a mockery out of Jack Rodwell - but his strike is pushed out by Costil Pantilimon.

Couple of minutes to play. The game petering out.

A couple of minutes for Adam Smith who replaces crowd favourite Matt Ritchie.

Jeremain Lens's shot flies over and out of the ground. 

Yes, it's gone outside the stadium.

Bournemouth fans react with a chant: "That's why you're going down, that's why you're going down."

Eunan O'Kane's cross is volleyed into the ground by Marc Pugh and it bounces back off the crossbar with Costil Pantilimon beaten.

Andrew Surman's drive is well blocked by the Sunderland wall.

Ola Toivanen brings down the Bournemouth man on the edge of the box. Can they get a third?

Full-back Simon Francis is still running up and down that right for Bournemouth. He puts a lovely cross into the box but striker Glenn Murray is caught on his heels.

Dan Gosling goes into the book for bringing down Adam Johnson.

Ola Toivanen can't reach Jeremain Lens's resulting free-kick. Ten minutes left to play.

Easy for Bournemouth at the moment, who look like closing the game out against 10-man Sunderland.

Callum Wilson's splendid afternoon comes to an end, he gets a rest and Glenn Murray comes on.

And there is the red card for Younes Kaboul.

The Frenchman goes for an early bath and will be relieved to get off the pitch. An ugly swipe at Callum Wilson.

Matt Ritchie fires a free-kick over the bar for Bournemouth. Just over 15 minutes to hang on for all three points.

Fabio Borini off, Adam Johnson on. 

Billy Jones brings down Callum Wilson, but still no second booking. Lucky lad.

Sylvain Distin has done so well, Jermain Defoe has had enough. He comes off and on comes Steven Fletcher.

To be fair, it does look like the Englishman has taken a knock. That's because Distin has taken lumps out of him!

Sylvain Distin made his league debut for Bournemouth this afternoon, but looks like he has been there all his career. He has had a barnstorming match.

Into the last 25 minutes and Eddie Howe is refreshing his side.

Lee Tomlin, who has worked his socks off, gets a deserved round of applause and is substituted for Eunan O'Kane.
