adminTHEY have frozen Jordan Zemura out of the team but, it appears, Bournemouth are going down.
The Cherries slipped back into the Premier League relegation zone after a goal in each half condemned them to a 0-2 home defeat against in-form Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday night.
Evan Ferguson’s impressive finish was all that separated the sides, until substitute Julio Enciso sealed a 2-0 win in second-half stoppage-time.
Cherries had chances to equalise before Enciso’s late strike, Hamed Traore guilty of squandering the clearest opening as Brighton preserved their clean sheet.
Having named an unchanged team for three fixtures in a row, Gary O’Neil opted for two alterations from the side which began Saturday’s 2-1 win over Fulham.
Brighton broke the deadlock just before the half-hour mark.
Pervis Estupinan got in behind Adam Smith, but his cross was cleared by Marcos Senesi. However, Kaoru Mitoma collected the loose ball before picking out Ferguson in the centre, the young Irishman cleverly flicking the ball into the bottom corner.
Enciso secured the win.
After being found in the box by Gross, the Paraguayan cut inside Zabarnyi before slotting past Neto. – Sports Reporter/Bournemouth Echo
