Burnley 4-0 Bournemouth: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Clarets Grab First PL Win of the Season

Burnley grabbed their first Premier League win of the season as they smashed Bournemouth 4-0 at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.

It was the Cherries who actually started brighter and looked to be asking some serious questions of the Clarets. Barring a fortuitous strike against the crossbar though, the Cherries were unable to trouble a resolute defence.

As Burnley began to threaten, flaws were exposed in the Bournemouth backline as they twice failed to clear the ball before Matej Vydra put his side ahead against the run of play.

The Cherries were shellshocked just two minutes later when Aaron Lennon added a second with his first goal for the club.
