Josh King - goal hungry again

Top scorer on the night against Chelsea was Josh King and it was great to see him back to his best again. Josh has been under the shadow of Callum Wilson, but he stood up and made himself counted. He took his goals with delight and after the second goal and Bournemouth's third, he loved the celebrations with his team-mates.

Josh King right on target.

Josh has now got himself up to eight Premier League goals and he will want to get to double figures as soon as possible. He may yet catch Callum Wilson, who is said to be out for three or four weeks after a minor knee operation. It may be that Josh felt he had to do something special with Dominic Solanke now ready to play, and Callum having been in such great form, and Eddie Howe must be pleased with how Josh has responded.

The signs are good for Bournemouth with the way Brooks linked so well with King. They looked a natural partnership, and Brooks found King extremely well for Bournemouth's first goal. To see King return the favour and play Brooks in was also proof that they were working on the same wavelength, and you can't always get that understanding, even when players work on it.

King looked a different player than in the past few weeks. He had a smile on his face again and I think he is a player that likes to be the main target man. He will get a few more games to lead the line now and with Bournemouth players enjoying their football, we could see a lot more goals in the next few weeks.
