Wolves 2 Bournemouth 0: Jimenez and Cavaleiro score against toothless Cherries

Wolves were worthy winners as they extended their victorious streak to three matches by beating Bournemouth 2-0 at Molineux.

Raul Jimenez's fifth Premier League goal and Ivan Cavaleiro's late strike consigned to Bournemouth to a sixth defeat in seven and gave Wolves a 2-0 home win on Saturday.

Mexican striker Jimenez punished Charlie Daniels' poor pass in the 12th minute and substitute Cavaleiro capped off a 94th-minute breakaway as Nuno Espirito Santo's side leapfrogged the visitors in the table thanks to a third successive victory.

Callum Wilson returned from a hamstring injury as a substitute between the goals but the striker was unable to inspire a fightback, the Cherries now on the verge of vacating the top half.
