Bournemouth 2 Stoke 1: Lys Mousset's winner sees off struggling Potters
Bournemouth extended their unbeaten league run to seven games after another impressive second-half performance saw them overturn Stoke’s fifth-minute lead through Xherdan Shaqiri.
Josh King scored his third Premier League goal of the season before his fellow substitute Mousset nodded a 79th-minute winner.
Bournemouth, who were last beaten by runaway leaders Manchester City on December 23, could not quite match their midweek heroics of beating Chelsea by three second-half goals.
But after shrugging off their shaky start, Eddie Howe’s side turned the game around to move closer to safety.
Stoke, meanwhile, were dragged into the relegation zone after suffering their first defeat under new boss Paul Lambert in his third game in charge.
For much of the first half, Bournemouth were unrecognisable from the side that beat Chelsea 3-0 midweek.
