AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Wolverhampton Wanderers 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 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Making the most of their fortune, Premier League strugglers Wolves win 1-0 away to high-flying Bournemouth, who played for an hour with just 10 men. When Zabarnyi was sent off following an intervention from the VAR, the visitors soon capitalised, as Cunha beat Kepa to score for a fourth straight game - and they went on to control events for most of the second half. The home side failed to produce a single shot on target after half-time, and with an xG of 0.62 they rarely threatened to equalise. Meanwhile, Wolves - who also struck the post and missed a sitter - finished with an xG of 1.97, which suggests they were worthy winners. Having pulled further clear of the drop zone, Vitor Pereira's men will welcome Fulham to Molineux next Tuesday, when Bournemouth travel to Brighton. That's all from today's live coverage, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

Yellow Card Kepa Arrizabalaga Revuelta
AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
SHARP SAVE! Kepa keeps Bournemouth's dreams alive! After Pedro Lima steals the ball in midfield and skips into a shooting position, around 20 yards out, he fires towards the bottom-left corner. Ready to thwart him, Kepa leaps across to his right and palms it away!

Brooks tries to meet a superb searching cross from the left by Kerkez, but he slips near the right byline and sends the ball wide for a Wolves goal-kick. Bournemouth still haven't had a shot on target during the second half.

There will be at least six minutes of stoppage time added to the end of this game, so Bournemouth will not give up hope just yet.
AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
While the hosts are in need of a late goal to salvage one point from this match, Wolves are still dictating play. They're making the most of some tiring legs, as the 10-man Cherries seem to have run out of steam.
