Pugh wreaks havoc in man-of-the-match display as Cherries thrash Boro

This is a modal window.

Bournemouth thumped a feeble Boro side who are now seven points adrift of safety.

It was another day to remember for Bournemouth on Saturday, as they thumped Middlesbrough 4-0 and claimed another three points. The victory pushes the south coast club up to 38 points in the Premier League and fans can start to breathe a sigh of relief with regards to their status in England's top division.

While it already looks likely, Eddie Howe's team now need just one more victory to ensure they are definitely playing Premier League football for a third season in a row.
