Arnaut Danjuma climbed off the bench to maintain Bournemouth’s unbeaten league record with victory at home to promotion rivals Bristol City.
The Cherries climb up to second in the Championship table while their opponents are now winless in four games and slip down to sixth place.
Both sides struck the woodwork in difficult conditions on the south coast before Danjuma’s decisive intervention late in the game.
Changes were made by both teams with Jason Tindall bringing in four players including Junior Stanislas while opposite number Dean Holden made five alterations from their stalemate with Swansea.
