Bournemouth came from behind to beat Leicester City 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium. As a result, the Cherries remain undefeated in five games since interim boss Gary O'Neil took charge.

The hosts got off to a poor start as Leicester took an early lead.

With 10 minutes on the clock, Youri Tielemans’ (25) cross proved problematic for the Cherries’ backline, eventually breaking to Patson Daka (23), who fired low on the turn to put his side in the ascendancy.

Bournemouth responded positively to going behind, but were unable to find a shot on goal in the first 30.

Ryan Fredericks (29) looked as if he had won his side a penalty late in the half, but on closer inspection the right-back was booked for simulation as the Foxes remained ahead.

Brendan Rodgers’ side had not won any of their last six PL games in which they had opened the scoring, but as the hour mark ticked by, the home side were yet to convert their attacking impetus into anything substantial.

Despite an alarming run of eight PL games without a goal, Jamie Vardy (35) was brought on to extend Leicester’s lead, yet within seconds, Bournemouth found an equaliser.

A determined run from Dominic Solanke (25) ended with a blocked shot that popped up nicely for Philip Billing (26) to slam home his third of the season.

Remarkably, it took just three minutes for Bournemouth to complete the turnaround, as Billing’s cross was knocked down by Solanke, allowing Ryan Christie (27) to turn home his first PL goal.

Facing the prospect of a seventh PL defeat of the season, Rodgers looked to his bench for a spark, but none was forthcoming as the visitors continued their abysmal away record.

The result leaves the Foxes floundering in the relegation zone, having previously looked like they may have turned a corner with a 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest last time out.

As for Bournemouth, their impressive form lifts the newly-promoted side into the top half of the PL table.
