Bournemouth untroubled by Philadelphia

A pair of goals in each half helped Bournemouth to a win over the Philadelphia Union.

Bournemouth started its preseason campaign with a comfortable 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Tuesday.

The Premier League newcomers scored twice in each half at PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania, as it prepares for the season.

Joshua King, Callum Wilson, Marc Pugh and Tokelo Rantie were on the score sheet for Eddie Howe's men. Richie Marquez struck for the Union when they were 2-0 down, but Bournemouth was the dominant side.

King opened the scoring against the Union in the 20th minute before Wilson struck soon after, set up by Adam Smith.
