PREM: Watford 0-4 Bournemouth

It was Bournemouth's first win at Vicarage Road since 1997

Joshua King helped Bournemouth secure their biggest Premier League away win with a 4-0 victory over Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

Wales international David Brooks opened the scoring before King converted a spot-kick - Christian Kabasele was sent off for conceding the penalty - and he added a third with a well-placed header from Callum Wilson's cross.

The Cherries scored a fourth early in the second half when Wilson flicked over Ben Foster from close range to seal a miserable afternoon for Javi Gracia's side.

 

Watford had a flurry of early chances but it was Brooks who opened the scoring for the visitors in the 14th minute, against the run of play, for his second goal in two games.

 

King raced down the left, picking out Wilson, who forced a fantastic save out of Foster before the 21-year-old burst forward to put the ball into an empty net.

The Hornets wasted a golden chance to level the scoring soon after, with Jose Holebas picking out Craig Cathcart from a corner, but the unmarked defender blazed his free header well wide.

The key moment of the match came when Kabasele was shown a second yellow just after the half-hour mark - when he pulled down King inside the box - and the Norwegian sent Foster the wrong way from the resulting penalty, slotting into the bottom-right corner.

 

Bournemouth began to dominate with their one-man advantage, and after Brooks fed Wilson down the right, the striker found King inside the box, who headed past Foster for his second and the Cherries' third in the 45th minute.

Wilson confirmed Bournemouth's record top-flight away win just two minutes into the second half when he flicked over Foster from Ryan Fraser's cross on the left, and the Cherries cruised on to secure all three points by seeing out the game in comfortable fashion.
