text: Bournemouth moved four points clear at the top of the Championship with a win against Brighton as manager Eddie Howe set club records tumbling. They scored with their first shot on target in the 70th minute, well worth the wait when Yann Kermorgant hit a wonderful 25-yard free-kick which wrong-footed Brighton goalkeeper David Stockdale and flew into the left of goal. With only their second accurate effort, in the 81st minute, Callum Wilson extended their lead by running on to Kermorgant’s ball over the top and twice turned Greg Halford before finishing.

Brighton (4-2-3-1) Stockdale; Bruno, Halford, Dunk, Bennett; Stephens, Kayal (Ince 67); Calderon, Teixeira (Mackail-Smith 74), Carayol (LuaLua 74); Best. Subs not used: Walton, Hughes, Forster-Caskey, O’Grady. Manager: Chris Hughton . Booked: Dunk, Bennett . Bournemouth (4-4-2): Boruc; Daniels, Elphick, Cook, Francis; Pugh (Smith 64), Surman, Arter, Ritchie; Kermorgant (Gosling 83), Wilson (Jones 89). Subs not used: Camp, Ward, Stanislas, Pitman,. Manager: Eddie Howe . Booked: Smith . Referee: Craig Pawson . Stadium: Amex Stadium . Attendance: 25,919 . In doing so they set a club record 106 goals in all competitions, beating 104 from the 1956-57 and 1928-29 seasons. And Wilson’s strike was their 89th league goal of the season, moving clear of the previous record 88 they scored in the Division Three South in the 1956-57 season. Prior to the goals they had not looked like the typically fluent Bournemouth that has made them league leaders for the majority of the campaign. The passes were hit that little bit too long, the crosses went out for goal kicks and the through balls were slightly mistimed. Brighton’s Leon Best got in behind their defence in the 58th minute and shaped to bend an effort into the right of goal but his shot was woeful, weak and straight at Artur Boruc. Four minutes later, Mustafa Carayol made a driving run through the middle and got a powerful shot away from the edge of the box but Bournemouth captain Tommy Elphick dived in front to block. But Bournemouth showed they can win ugly and when the game is not going their way, as well as dominating teams with their passing. Howe is well aware that nerves will come into play with his players as they battle for promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history. Yet his side are starting to demonstrate that they can handle the pressure. Four more games remain, against Reading, Sheffield Wednesday, Bolton and Charlton - a run of fixtures which they should deal with comfortably.
