Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium

Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Fulham today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham
Bournemouth leapfrog Fulham into eighth place in the Premier League after a goal in the first minute seals a vital 1-0 win at the Vitality. The game burst into life in the opening moments as these two sluggers launched into attack mode from the off. But it was Bournemouth through Semenyo who landed the most telling blow, with the attacker caressing a lovely shot into the bottom corner after good work by Alex Scott. Both sides had moments in the game but the hosts held on, sometimes nervously in the second period to claim the points and move onto 48 points for the season. No Silva lining for Fulham as they tried to get back on level terms, but they lacked that clinical edge and even with Traore and Smith Rowe introduced, they could not break down Bournemouth's newly found resolute rear guard. Bournemouth were good value for the points and mustered an xG of 1.86 over the ninety minutes, with Fulham-a little off colour-still managing n xG of 1.38. Both teams are level on 48 points, but Bournemouth move ahead of tinight's opponents on goal difference. Thank you for joining us this evening, and goodbye.

Kerkez prevents a corner after the ball is floated in by Iwobi from a deep position on the left. He slams it out for a throw. That should be that.

Right on cue, Adams wins a throw-in and celebrates. Fulham are running out of ideas.

An uncharacteristically poor ball in from Robinson has Arrizabalaga peddling backwards to claim at the back post. The Bournemouth stopper collides with a rapidly approaching Traore and needs no excuse to go down and waste a few precious moments.

As predicted, Cairney is showing his quality at getting balls into the area. Another corner as the pressure is ramped up by Fulham.
