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:

Before today, Wolves had won only one of their last 28 away games against teams inside the top six - losing no fewer than 24. Now, though, they're just moments away from beating Bournemouth, who sit fifth in the Premier League as things stand.

When Bournemouth fail to clear their lines following a Pedro Lima cross from the right, Sarabia picks up the loose ball and positions himself to shoot. From around 20 yards out, he curls a good attempt narrowly over the crossbar.

It turns out that Ait-Nouri can't recover from his knock, so Pedro Lima has been sent on to replace him for the closing stages.

In no hurry to make a rapid recovery, Ait-Nouri is left down on the turf. He requires treatment from the medics, so the action is momentarily paused. Wolves are only minutes away from a precious Premier League victory.

Played into the box by Tavernier, a fleet-footed Brooks tangles legs with Andre and immediately claims for a penalty. It seems that the Wales forward initiated contact, so the referee is right to wave him away.

Still, Wolves are on the back foot. Kerkez sprints to the left byline, but his cutback lacks precision and is blocked. Both Scott and Semenyo are well placed, but neither get a sniff of the ball.

First Ouattara, then Kerkez sees a cross blocked from the left flank. Bournemouth are enjoying a prolonged period of possession now, trying to keep Wolves penned in.
