MATCH REPORT
Callum Wilson's superb late goal
earned Bournemouth victory over West Brom, their first Premier League win of the
season. The striker connected with Adam Smith's cross with a deft flick to put
the ball just inside the post with 11 minutes remaining at the Vitality Stadium.
The home side had dominated the first half, with Wilson forcing West Brom keeper
Ben Foster into a double save. Matty Phillips hit the crossbar as West Brom
improved after the break. West Brom are 13th in the table, level on four points
with Bournemouth but one place higher.
Wilson's goal was his first for
almost a year, following a six-month lay-off with a medial knee ligament injury.
Bournemouth keeper Artur Boruc denied Saido Berahino and Gareth McAuley with
instinctive saves from close range early in the second half.
England
midfielder Jack Wilshere came on as a 63rd-minute substitute for
Bournemouth, his first appearance since joining on loan from Arsenal.
Wilshere's unexpected move to the south coast grabbed the headlines on the final
day of the transfer window but, while he sat on the bench,
Bournemouth's record signing
Jordon Ibe caught the eye. The 20-year-old ex-Liverpool forward was a constant
threat on Bournemouth's right wing, especially during the first half with a
succession of shots and crosses. He looked to have the better of West Brom's
Brendan Galloway, also 20 and making his second Premier League appearance at
left-back following his arrival on loan from Everton.
Galloway improved and even had a chance of his own after the break,
driving a close-range shot from a tight angle at Boruc. Ibe faded before being
replaced by Wilshere just after the hour mark.
Jack Wilshere made 24 touches
after appearing in the 63rd minute The appearance of Wilshere helped Bournemouth
get back on to the front foot, and he roamed the pitch trying to assert his
influence. Wilshere, 24, has not completed 90 minutes in the Premier League
since 13 September 2014,
and made two substitute appearances this season before leaving Arsenal. At times
on Saturday he pleaded for the ball, with one subtle touch inside the box to set
up Junior Stanislas a reminder of his talent. How
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe uses Wilshere will be one of the most
interesting sub-plots of this season.
