Steve Cook shines, Lys Mousset struggles in Bournemouth's draw with Stoke

This is a modal window.

Having not scored away from home since January, Stoke finally broke their duck in an entertaining game at Bournemouth.

It was not only another thoroughly entertaining game of football at the Vitality Stadium but the Cherries secured the point they needed to fully guarantee safety from relegation. The south coast side showed some real brilliance in some periods of the game but some equally as poor defending at other times. The rest of the season is here to enjoy but there are definitely some areas of improvement for the next campaign.

Positives

The major positive from the afternoon besides 100 percent ensuring Premier League survival for next season was seeing both fringe players Lys Mousset and Lewis Cook given another chance in the starting XI.
