Marcus Tavernier’s deflected effort handed Bournemouth their first Premier League win of the season, after a 1-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium.

The Cherries didn’t hang about, breaking the deadlock inside five minutes. Bournemouth pressed high, regained the ball in a dangerous central area, and Tavernier’s strike, taking a fortunate deflection off a defender, ricocheted in off the crossbar.

Wolves’ afternoon worsened after the break when Toti Gomes was shown a red card for a last-man foul on Evanilson.

Playing with a man down, the visitors couldn’t mount any serious threat, leaving Bournemouth in control.

The win earns Andoni Iraola's team their first three points of the campaign and lifts them to ninth place. Wolves, by contrast, remain rooted to the bottom of the table with zero points from two matches.
