That wraps up Tribe’s live coverage of this Leicester City vs Bournemouth clash. I’ve been Harry Dowsett and I will see you next time.
The win sees Leicester claim their first league victory of the campaign and they now climb up to 15th place in the Premier League, just one point behind Manchester United, albeit having played an extra game. As for Bournemouth, they remain on 8 points and fall to 13th.
The second half saw Bournemouth start extremely quickly once again and put the Foxes under some early pressure. They had the ball in the back of the net at one stage, but it was ruled out for an offside on Evanilson, whose glancing header helped the ball past Hermansen. That pressure was sustained throughout the second half but the Cherries were unable to find a way past a compact Leicester defence.
And breathe Leicester City fans. What a game that was and it has ended with the Foxes earning their first Premier League victory of the season. Bournemouth started the first half the better of the two sides and were unlucky not to take the lead themselves as Semenyo caused the home side all sorts of problems. But it was Leicester who struck the first and only goal of the game through Buonanotte who fired the ball past Arrizzabalaga from 12 yards out in the 16th minute.

Another dangerous ball into the box from the right flank by Bournemouth is dealt with by Okoli and sent behind for a corner. Kepa comes up for the corner but the Foxes clear the ball away confidently.
90+4'
Bournemouth find Unal with another cross into the box at the back post, this time from he left flank. He latches onto it well, but his effort is well over the bar.
90+2'
Soumare is shown a yellow card for some time-wasting antics late on in this game.

Brooks drives inward from the right flank 25 yards out from goal and clips a cross to the back post. It is nodded back across the goal and finds Unal six yards out from the goal. His effort is poor but the flag goes up anyway.
