Birmingham City 1-3 Bournemouth: David Brooks double helps Cherries beat Blues

David Brooks' double helped Bournemouth move up to fourth in the Championship after a comfortable win at Birmingham City.

Arnaut Danjuma gave the Cherries an early lead as he calmly finished Junior Stanislas' through-ball after some good build-up play.

Brooks doubled the lead shortly before the break when his effort from 25 yards deflected off Marc Roberts and wrong-footed Blues goalkeeper Neil Etheridge

The Wales winger's second followed soon after the restart as he lashed home off the underside of the bar after reacting first to Dominic Solanke's powerful shot coming back off the post before Blues pulled one back five minutes later when Scott Hogan glanced home Jeremie Bela's free-kick.
