Match Report

The away side broke the deadlock through Cody Gakpo after the Dutchman reacted quickly to slot home from close range following a goal-mouth scramble.

But the Cherries grew into the game after the break and Justin Kluivert headed them level at the back post from a corner.

Darwin Nunez then came off the bench to make a real impact, cutting in from the left to curl a powerful effort beyond the goalkeeper from the edge of the box.
