Bournemouth delivered a masterclass, extending their unbeaten run to 11 games, with Ouattara’s hat-trick leading a dominant 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.
Bournemouth showcased an impressive attacking performance, extending their unbeaten Premier League run to a club record of 11 games. They defeated Nottingham Forest at the Vitality Stadium, who had previously been in excellent form. The Cherries, buoyed by a recent 4-1 victory at Newcastle United, continued their strong run under manager Andoni Iraola. Meanwhile, Forest, who had surprisingly climbed to third in the league table, were unable to withstand Bournemouth’s offensive prowess.
Dango Ouattara’s hat-trick spearheaded Bournemouth’s dominant showing, dismantling Forest’s usually robust defense. Justin Kluivert opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a precise 25-yard shot, capitalizing on the space afforded to him by the Forest defenders. This was Kluivert’s 11th league goal and only his second at home.
Forest’s attempts to recover were thwarted early in the second half as Bournemouth shifted into a higher gear. Ouattara doubled the lead by heading in Kluivert’s cross in the 55th minute and then added his second goal six minutes later. As Forest’s defense crumbled under relentless pressure, goalkeeper Matz Sels fumbled a shot from Marcus Tavernier allowing Ouattara to complete his hat-trick. Antoine Semenyo capped off the victory with a solo goal in stoppage time, resulting in a 5-0 win for the Cherries.
The match highlighted Bournemouth’s excellent run of form and strong offensive capabilities, while exposing defensive vulnerabilities in Nottingham Forest’s game. This victory solidified Bournemouth’s position and brought Forest down from their unexpected high in the league standings. The game was a showcase of Bournemouth’s attacking power, especially by players like Ouattara and Kluivert, who were instrumental in the team’s decisive win.
