Huddersfield Town 0-3 Bournemouth: Dominic Solanke stars as Cherries consolidate second

Dominic Solanke starred as second-placed Bournemouth gave their Premier League promotion hopes a huge boost with an impressive victory at third-placed Huddersfield Town.

Solanke hit the bar early on before setting up Jaidon Anthony's side-footed opener.

The forward's break then led to Jefferson Lerma doubling the lead after a Huddersfield error, before the former Liverpool player's excellent flick made it 3-0 seconds after half-time.

The Cherries are now six points clear in second place and have at least two games in hand on the sides in the play-off places.

Scott Parker's side remain eight points behind leaders Fulham with a game in hand, but after this slick performance it would seem unlikely for any side to dislodge either team from the Championship's automatic promotion places.
