WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

Marc Pugh marked his first Premier League start of the season with a winning goal as AFC Bournemouth beat champions Leicester City at Vitality Stadium.

The midfielder opened his account for the season with a sweetly-struck volley from Benik Afobe's rebounded effort and his goal was the difference as Leicester could not make the most of their second-half chances. 

Leicester threatened to take an early lead when Jamie Vardy had a shot cleared off the line but AFC Bournemouth led at the break thanks to Pugh's first goal since April.

The Foxes twice went close through Robert Huth before Leonardo Ulloa had a shot spectacularly saved by Artur Boruc in stoppage time, but the Cherries held on to move into the top half of the table.
