Philip Billing scored his seventh goal of the season for BournemouthBournemouth moved out of the Premier League's relegation zone with an impressive victory that piled more misery on beleaguered Leicester City.
Philip Billing scored the winning goal in the first half, latching on to James Maddison's shocking attempt at a backpass to coolly slot past Daniel Iversen.
Bournemouth were much the better side and should have added to their tally but Billing flicked the post with a free-kick in the early stages, while Iversen kept his side in it with a total of six saves.
The goalkeeper, who has usurped Danny Ward as number one, pushed away Billing's stinging drive and also kept out Dominic Solanke's low shot with a sharp stop.
Caretaker boss Adam Sadler saw his side create very few chances in the contest. Maddison looked to make amends for his error but a fierce drive was tipped over by Neto.
The seismic triumph for the Cherries moved them up to 15th place and three points clear of the drop zone, while Leicester remain firmly in trouble, one place above the bottom and two points from safety.
More to follow.
