Bournemouth 6 Hull City 1: Junior Stanislas was involved in four goals for the Cherries

JUNIOR STANISLAS was at the centre of Bournemouth's dominant victory over Hull at the Vitality stadium.

Charlie Daniels set the tone for the Cherries after just five minutes when he fired home from Stanislas' free-kick which bounced off the inside of the right post.

From this opening goal, the Cherries dominated the match but the Tigers were given a lifeline in the 34th minute.

Steve Cook poorly gave away possession, giving it to Jake Livermore who passed it on to Ryan Mason whose long range shot took a huge deflection off Cook before looping in.

Stanislas proivided his second assist from a free-kick after his delivery was met by a towering header from Cook four minutes before the interval.

Moments before half-time Stanislas got himself on the score sheet from the penalty spot after Robert Snodgrass was booked by Lee Mason for a foul on Callum Wilson.

Stanislas then scored his second of the match and Wilson and Dan Gosling also got in on the act as Bournemouth comfortably secured their third Premier League victory of the season.

FACTS, STATS, GOALS & LOLS

• Jack Wilshere had his quietest game for Bournemouth since his £80,000 per week loan move from Arsenal but that did not stop the Cherries celebrating their biggest Premier League win.
• Hull fans at last had something early to cheer about because Mason's deflected shot was the first first-half goal the Tigers have scored in six hours and 34 minutes-but unfortunately Bournemouth netted three at the other end!
• What is it about penalty taking on the south coast? Wilson and Stanislas argued over who was taking their first half spot-kick just weeks after Dusan Tadic and Charlie Austin had to be pulled apart after rowing over the same task at Southampton.

• Football fans can be so cruel...just days after head coach Mike Phelan signed his permanent contract at Hull Bournemouth supporters were singing: "You're getting sacked in the morning."
• Maybe Hull midfielder Markus Henriksen  was keen to warm the bench at Bournemouth after taking the flak a week ago in a humiliating World Cup defeat against Azerbaijan where one Norwegian scribe gave him a 2/10 performance mark!
• The Vitality Stadium boardroom telephones were red-hot with continuous running match commentaries to owner Maxim Denim in Russia and chairman Jeff Mostyn on business duties in China.
• Norwich chairman Ed Balls is as hopeless at score predictions as he is dancing after forecasting a 2-1 home spin for Bournemouth.

• Legend Ted MacDougall, 69, who once bombarded Margate with NINE Bournemouth goals in a 11-0 FA Cup win in 1971, was netting signatures galore back at Dean Court yesterday at the book signing of "MacDou-Goal".
• Hull are saving a fortune in appearance bonus payments these days having only used a Premier League low 18 players this  campaign.
• The fact that seven or more home grown players have started Bournemouth's last 15 Premier League fixtures will not have gone unnoticed by the FA hierarchy who fancy Howe as a future England manager.
