Premier League: Bournemouth carry on impressive form
AFC Bournemouth 2 - 1 Leicester City
Gary O'Neil enhanced his credentials to become the next permanent Bournemouth manager after leading his side to victory over Leicester City.
Since succeeding Scott Parker, O'Neil has overseen a five-game unbeaten run. This fine win comes after another outstanding comeback against Nottingham Forest last month.

Although he plays it down when asked, it is increasingly hard to ignore the body of work he is creating at Bournemouth.
In terms of the match, Patson Daka's opener gave Leicester some early control, but they failed to capitalise and had no answer to a rousing reply from Bournemouth in the second half.
Philip Billing thrashed home a superb volley to level the scores before Ryan Christie touched in Dominic Solanke's knock-down five minutes later to complete the revival.
Jamie Vardy came on from the bench to inject urgency into Leicester's play. He went close with a couple of cross-shots. The good feeling established by Monday's 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest had long evaporated by the end. The pressure had turned up once more on boss Brendan Rodgers.
