Bournemouth cling-on against Huddersfield to continue great run
Relive all the action from the Vitality Stadium
Two early goals helped Bournemouth end its four-game losing streak in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over Huddersfield on Tuesday that moved it provisionally up to sixth place.
Callum Wilson scored after just five minutes and Ryan Fraser added the second in the 22nd as Eddie Howe's side got back on track following losses to Newcastle, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City in recent weeks.
However, it had to work hard to see out the win after Terence Kongolo pulled a goal back with a header shortly before the break.
The visitors pushed for an equalizer in the second half but lacked a cutting edge despite having 21 shots on goal. It was Huddersfield's ninth defeat of the season, leaving it hovering just above the relegation zone.

Player to watch…
Ryan Fraser: The Scot’s dynamism and trickery has been one of the highlights of Bournemouth’s season. He’s already been directly involved in 11 goals (4 goals 11 assists). Reliance on one player for goals is never healthy, but in Fraser, top scorer Callum Wilson has a worthy supporting act.

Bournemouth vs Huddersfield
There has been plenty of goals in previous fixtures between the two teams. Bournemouth won 4-0 last November with Callum Wilson scoring a hat-trick.
Huddersfield then bagged 4 in the return fixture in February a the Terriers triumphed 4-1.
Even when these team competed in the Championship there were goals galore as Huddersfield won 5-1 in August 2013, James Vaughan scored a hat-trick on that day.
