AFC Bournemouth
Artur Boruc – 6: A few good saves were marred by the late goal. Unlucky.
Steve Francis – 3: Was a big part of a team’s success, but not Bournemouth’s. Arnautovic ran rings around him.
Sylvain Distin – 5: Started well but let Diouf get free and score late in the game.
Steve Cook – 6: Had a good outing despite his fellow defenders playing poorly.
Charlie Daniels – 6: Did not do much to stop Johnson from getting the assist to win the game, otherwise played well.
Matt Ritchie – 6: Not bad but most of his input came too late.
Andrew Surman – 5: Not effective due to Stoke’s anchors harassing him.
Dan Gosling – 7: One of Bournemouth’s best. Played well in an attacking sense and picked up their only goal of the game.
Marc Pugh – 6: Looked better in the second half but an average performance overall.
Lee Tomlin – 5: Not his best game. Substituted.
Callum Wilson – N/A: Only played 15 minutes and was forced off by injury.
Substitutes
Adam Smith – N/A: Played the last few minutes but could not make an impact.
Glenn Murray – 6: Nearly scored late in the game but had an average match.
Joshua King – 5: Did not make the impact off the bench the manager would have expected.
