Despite a solid first-half display, AFC Bournemouth were beaten by Aston Vila 3-1 at Villa Park.
Dominic Solanke notched his 18th Premier League goal of an impressive season when he hit a superb penalty past Emiliano Martinez – Villa’s penalty hero in midweek in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Former Cherries loanee Morgan Rogers equalised for the hosts on the stroke of half-time, before second-half Moussa Diaby and Leon Bailey strikes condemned Andoni Iraola’s side to defeat.
With five games to play, the Cherries have scored more goals and picked up more points than last season with another trip to the Midlands on Wednesday to face Wolves at Molineux.
