Bournemouth strengthen their bid to win promotion back to the Premier League as Dominic Solanke and Jamal Lowe strike to keep Wayne Rooney's Derby County in the relegation places

Bournemouth have leapfrogged Huddersfield into the automatic promotion places after Dominic Solanke and Jamal Lowe scored in a crucial win over relegation-threatened Derby County.

The Cherries delivered a devastating blow deep into first-half stoppage time to take the lead after some brilliant individual play from Anthony – which saw him nutmeg two opponents – lead to Dominic Solanke to fire home from close range.

Scott Parker's side looked to double their lead at the Vitality, forcing Derby's Allsop to make a number of fine saves to keep the scores level.

However, Bournemouth finally got their second in stoppage time as Jamal Lowe fired home to make sure of the points.
