Solanke at the double as AFC Bournemouth cruise past Huddersfield Town

Dominic Solanke scored a brace as AFC Bournemouth romped to a 5-0 triumph over Huddersfield Town in a Championship match on Saturday.

The Nigerian descent returned to the scoresheet at Vitality Stadium after the Cherries' goalless draw against Swansea City on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old striker opened the scoring at Vitality Stadium in the eighth minute and five minutes later, he doubled the hosts' lead before laying an assist for David Brooks who made it 3-0 in the 21st minute.

Goals from Junior Stanislas and Sam Surridge after the restart completed the rout for Jason Tindall's side who bounced to victory at home, after their 3-2 loss to Preston North End a fortnight ago.
