NEW DELHI: Bournemouth's quest for their first Premier League victory continues as Wolverhampton Wanderers secured a dramatic 2-1 win with a late goal by Sasa Kalajdzic on the south coast this Saturday.
Bournemouth took an early lead through a swift and well-executed move down the right flank. Philip Billing orchestrated the play, finding Dominic Solanke, who calmly slotted the ball into the net. This opening goal provided the home team with a sense of promise.
However, the tide turned 71 seconds into the second half when Wolverhampton Wanderers' Matheus Cunha found the equalizer. The quick response from Wolves hinted at the competitive nature of the match.
Unfortunately for Bournemouth, their challenges multiplied as Lewis Cook was shown a red card for head-butting Hwang Hee-chan, following a rash challenge. This incident left Bournemouth with 10 men for the majority of the second half.
As the clock ticked away and a draw appeared to be the likely outcome, Bournemouth's goalkeeper Neto opted for a quick but short goal kick. Yet, it proved to be a risky move as Wolves capitalized on the opportunity. Hwang swiftly regained possession and set up substitute Sasa Kalajdzic, who delivered the winning goal in the 88th minute.
The late strike by Kalajdzic secured Wolverhampton Wanderers' victory, dealing a further blow to Bournemouth's aspirations of clinching their first Premier League win this season.
