    It's been a good night for Benik Afobe. He's been involved with everything, at both ends of the pitch.

    Bournemouth 2-0 Swansea

    Swansea are having most of the possession at the minute, but they're struggling to do anything with it. Bournemouth stick bodies in front of everyone before Swansea finally find their way into the box. Gylfi Sigurdsson is turning and weaving, trying to get a shot away, before Bournemouth clear.

    Just to show how quiet Bournemouth have kept Fernando Llorente, here's his touchmap...

    Off goes Fernando Llorente, who hasn't had much to do today. He's been replaced by Borja Baston.

    Some good pressure from Bournemouth there but it's all gone a little bit scrappy now. Paul Clement is prowling up and down, looking fairly unimpressed.

    Bournemouth 2-0 Swansea

    Superb stuff from Lukasz Fabianski! Jack Wilshere nabs the ball and works his way down the left. Fabianski comes forward slightly and Wilshere sees Joshua King come charging into the box. Wilshere chips the ball up, King heads it - and Fabianski's reactions are lightning quick to knock the ball away. Cracking reactions from the Swansea keeper.

    Not since March 2016 have Bournemouth won back-to-back games. Benik Afobe is down on the floor now after a clattering with Jack Cork. The physio is on, handing over the water, and after a bit of moving about gingerly, Afobe will continue.

    It just shows you what a popular lad he is, every single person in the team apart from the goalkeeper has gone to the corner to congratulate him. 

    It was all about his touch. Swansea were having their best spell of the game.

    Eddie Howe punches the air in celebration, then decides it's time to make a change. Jack Wilshere comes on in place of Ryan Fraser, and there's a hearty round of applause for both men.

    Nice work from Bournemouth, catching Swansea out. Benik Afobe got himself into a great position to meet Joshua King's pass, avoiding a sliding Swansea body and recovering from losing his footing to slide the ball into the left corner. Lukasz Fabianski, who had come charging out of the box, couldn't get enough of a hand to that.

    Yep, that one is definitely going down as Afobe's.

    Lovely stuff from Steve Cook, firstly from almost on his back to scuff the ball out of the way of the net, before he gets another good block in to Fernando Llorente's effort.

    It was fantastic defending. Headers, blocks, people throwing their bodies.

    This is better from Swansea, finally finding Luciano Narsingh on the right. He's got quick feet but not quick enough to overstep Charles Daniels slide. A short corner ends up at Jack Cork's feet, Cork spears the ball in, looking for Fernando Llorente, but there's too much on it. Swansea are scrapping hard now, Bournemouth throwing themselves in front of every scuffed shot, before the ball sails into the stands.

    Another change for the Swans. Wayne Routledge comes on in place of Ki Sung-yueng.

    Tom Carroll wins Swansea a free-kick in a nice position. Gylfi Sigurdsson waits patiently as the wall shove and hustle each other, and the Swans man ends up hammering it straight into the defenders. The Cherries don't clear, the ball drops to Ki Sung-yeung, and he slams the ball out of play via a Bournemouth body.

    Swansea finally get themselves over the halfway line through some gentle passing between Luciano Narsingh and Ki Sung-yeung, before Joshua King intercepts it. He's then brought down by Leroy Fer and Bournemouth want a free-kick. No dice from the referee, and the Cherries get their own back with some fantastic defending from Ryan Fraser and Adam Smith

    That'll hurt. Adam Smith makes a lovely run to meet Ryan Fraser's header in. He's off balance as soon as he arrives and ends up missing the ball and running into the advertising boards. Ouch. He looks to have done his knee a mischief but, after a bit of hopping around, he's okay to carry on.

    Ryan Fraser is doing an excellent job, working his way through Swansea's defence again to find Joshua King. There's a worry for Swansea as Lukasz Fabianski makes a bit of a mess of blocking King's shot, before the keeper gets down low to save Fraser's effort. Good stuff from the Cherries.
