A point when they needed three
Bournemouth took their opportunity to throw down the gauntlet before their relegation rivals could even kick a ball in anger over the weekend. The Cherries set alarm bells ringing last week at Arsenal, going within a few seconds of holding the league leaders at the Emirates Stadium, and seemingly that gave them the confidence to take the game to Liverpool at the Vitality Stadium and secure a result very few saw coming.
Gary O’Neil’s side won 1-0 on the south coast to breathe fresh life into their hopes of survival. That meant Leeds were in the bottom three once more when they kicked off against Brighton and Hove Albion and they knew they needed to produce a response.
