    Swansea 0-2 Bournemouth

    Benik Afobe surges to the edge of the box, but rather than shoot he tries to roll it to Junior Stanislas. The ball is cut out, and Jack Wilshere complains to Afobe for not seeking him out with the simpler pass.

    The Cherries are knocking the ball around at will in these opening stages, with Swansea barely able to lay a foot on the ball. Fernando Llorente cuts a lonely figure up front for the home side at the moment

    No changes from either side as we get under way again.

    This must be demoralising for Swansea, who have been thoroughly outplayed by a team displaying all the qualities which were once the hallmark of Swans sides.

    Bournemouth are passing the ball crisply, closing their opponents down eagerly and look in total control. Swansea, by contrast, are a rabble.

    The home crowd are unhappy, but that is as much to do with referee Kevin Friend as it with their team's performance.

    Brilliant team goal, with a lot of tempo and imagination.

    It's tiki-taka football in the hardest area of the pitch to play, and they've torn the opposition apart.

    The hosts were just starting to look like they might be getting in to the game when Afobe took the lead for the visitors, but Bournemouth have looked firmly in charge since with Fraser's goal confirming their superiority.

    A great goal, and Jack Wilshere is pulling the strings of this game - he has been at the heart of everything. It was a brilliant team goal, and great play by Stanislas including a little Cruyff turn.

    And here's all Wilshere's touches to date inside the Swansea half, showing how he's popping up all over the place to test the Swansea defence...

    Ryan Fraser

    Junior Stanislas backheels the ball deftly to Jack Wilshere, then gets the return to send in a low pass across the face of goal and Ryan Fraser barrels in to bustle it over the line from close range!

    Benik Afobe is beginning to dominate against Alfie Mawson at the back. It's quite a tussle between the Bournemouth striker and the Swansea defender.

    Swansea 0-1 Bournemouth

    Nice, patient build-up play from Bournemouth ends with Harry Arter rolling a shot just wide of the post. Ki Sung-yueng is then given a stern talking-to from the referee for some backchat, but the South Korean does not see the second yellow that would end his day early. But he's walking a tightrope.

  12. ouch!

    Swansea 0-1 Bournemouth

    Alfie Mawson goes for a high ball and goes right over Benik Afobe. He lands heavily, but despite the frenzied pleas of the home fans, referee Kevin Friend does not show a card.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 38 mins

    Swansea 0-1 Bournemouth

    Modou Barrow replaces Leroy Fer - he does not look injured, so it must a tactical throw of the dice.

    Swansea 0-1 Bournemouth

    Junior Stanislas fires in a low free-kick from the left that Lukasz Fabianski has few problems in dropping on to to stop it squeezing inside the post. The keeper then puts his defence under pressure with a poor throw, but eventually Swansea can clear the danger.

    Jordi Amat is very late on Ryan Fraser and enters the book.

    Swansea 0-1 Bournemouth

    The right-hand side has been Swansea's most promising outlet so far,  Naughton and Dyer, making his first Premier League start of the season, have teamed up well there but as yet there's nothing to show for it.

    Swansea 0-1 Bournemouth

    The goal has rocked Swansea back on their heels just as they looked to be settling down, and since then they been on the back foot against a confident Bournemouth outfit, for whom Junior Stanislas whips in a free-kick that has just too much pace on it to find a team-mate.

    Lovely composure from Jack Wilshere on the edge of the box. He picked the pass perfectly, but there was too much space. Poor defending.

    Yet again Swansea concede the opening goal in a match. This is their 19th Premier League game of the season, and they've gone behind in 14 of them.

    Benik Afobe

    Ryan Fraser's low cross from the left was nearly turned into his own net by Jordi Amat, but after the ball hit the post, Benik Afobe was on hand to convert the rebound from inside the six-yard box.
