Brace for Solanke as Bournemouth entertain Blackpool

The forward netted twice before the game reached the 20-minute mark as the home side went into the half-time break leading and with a clean sheet

Dominic Solanke has grabbed a brace in the first half for Bournemouth in Saturday's EFL Championship encounter against Blackpool at the Vitality Stadium.

Solanke opened the score in the sixth minute with an assist from Junior Stanislas, who was replaced by Emiliano Mercondes in the 16th minute.

The Nigeria-eligible forward found the back of the net again in the 19th minute to put the hosts into a rather comfortable lead at the half-time interval.
