Bournemouth secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor, exacerbating the Clarets’ worries about relegation.
Andoni Iraola’s Cherries, aiming to bounce back from their surprising FA Cup exit against Leicester City, efficiently executed their game plan. Goals from Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo ensured they clinched all three points.
The triumph propels Bournemouth to 13th place in the table, while Vincent Kompany’s Burnley remains entrenched in the relegation zone, narrowly escaping the bottom spot due to their superior goal difference over Sheffield United.
Despite dominating possession with 75%, Burnley succumbed to Bournemouth’s clinical counter-attacking prowess, intensifying pressure on Kompany. A hopeful long ball in the 13th minute created chaos in Burnley’s defense, allowing Kluivert to capitalize and score.
With just two minutes remaining, Semenyo sealed the victory for Bournemouth. The Ghanaian winger cut inside onto his left foot and struck a shot that deflected into the net, securing Bournemouth’s first win of 2024 under Iraola’s management.
