Ryan Fraser scored the only goal of the match as Bournemouth recorded a 1-0 win over Swansea City in Saturday's Premier League clash at the Vitality Stadium.
Fraser's first-half effort has seen Bournemouth rise into 12th position in the Premier League table, and left relegation-threatened Swansea in 17th - just one point clear of 18th-placed Southampton.
Read how it all unfolded in Sports Mole's minute-by-minute live commentary of the action below.
2.01pmAfternoon all! Sports Mole's live Premier League coverage continues from the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth welcome Swansea City. Bournemouth have only won one of their last 10 in the Premier League, and will come up against a Swansea side that sit just above the relegation zone in 17th position. It is a huge game on the south coast, and you can follow it right here!
2.04pmThe two teams played out a goalless draw when they locked horns in Wales earlier this season, but Bournemouth recorded a 2-0 victory in the corresponding Premier League clash last term. Swansea have not actually beaten Bournemouth since a 4-1 victory during the 2007-08 League One season. It would be fair to say that both clubs have come a long way since then.
2.07pmRight, let me bring you up-to-speed with the all-important team news from the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth suffered a 2-1 defeat at Southampton last weekend, while Swansea lost 1-0 at home to Chelsea. Any changes? Let's run through the two XIs that will start this key fixture...
2.10pmTEAMS!
BMOUTH: Begovic; Francis, Cook, Ake; Fraser, Cook, Surman, Daniels; King, Wilson, Pugh
SWANSEA: Fabianski; Van der Hoorn, Mawson, Fernandez; Roberts, Ki, Carroll, Olsson; Dyer, J. Ayew, A. Ayew
2.13pmBournemouth boss Eddie Howe has made two changes to the team that started against Southampton last weekend, with Andrew Surman and Marc Pugh coming in for Dan Gosling and Lys Mousset. Calum Wilson will again lead the line for the Cherries with support from Josh King.
2.16pmAs for Swansea, club captain Federico Fernandez is back at centre-back, while Nathan Dyer and Tom Carroll also come into the team with Andy King among those dropping out. Jordan Ayew and Andre Ayew both start in the final third of the field, with Connor Roberts also keeping his spot.
2.19pmSo there we have it. The two teams are in, and we are now just about 40 minutes from kickoff on the south coast. I shall speak about Swansea a little bit later, but let's start with the hosts Bournemouth. As mentioned above, a poor run of form has seen Eddie Howe's side win just one of their last 10 Premier League matches, and they have lost each of their last three in the top flight.
2.19pmBournemouth will be a Premier League club next season, but Howe will be slightly concerned by their drop in form. Indeed, the Cherries have lost to Liverpool, Manchester United and Southampton in their last three league matches, and are without a top-flight victory since beating basement side West Bromwich Albion at home in the middle of March. Not the best run of form!
2.25pmA total of nine wins and 11 draws from 36 matches has brought them 38 points, and they are actually just five points ahead of their opponents this afternoon. Howe's team will face Swansea here before ending their campaign away to Burnley next weekend, and the supporters will be looking for an improvement in recent performances, which have just not been good enough.
2.28pmFULL-TIME! STOKE 1-2 CRYSTAL PALACE
Stoke led at home to Palace, but have suffered a 2-1 defeat to Roy Hodgson's side. It is a brilliant result for Swansea and indeed the teams around them. Stoke have been officially relegated from the Premier League, which is a disaster for that football club. One down, two to go. Scenes!
2.32pmAs for Swansea, it is make or break time for the Welsh outfit. They will enter this match in 17th position in the table on 33 points - just one point clear of 18th-placed Southampton. The Saints go to Everton later this afternoon, and a win for Swansea in this match would be absolutely huge.
2.38pmCarlos Carvalhal made a strong impression when he first arrived at Swansea, but there is no getting away from the fact that the team are without a victory in the league since beating West Ham United 4-1 at the start of March. Since then, they have drawn three and lost three of their six Premier League matches to sit just outside the relegation zone approaching the final week.
2.42pmIt has been a tough couple of weeks, however, losing 5-0 at Manchester City on April 22 before suffering a 1-0 defeat at home to Chelsea last weekend. Swansea will face Bournemouth here before facing to monumental matches against Southampton and Stoke in their final two league matches.
2.45pmSix of Swansea's eight Premier League wins this season have come at the Liberty Stadium, and they have only managed 12 points on their travels. There has been no Premier League away win in 2018 for the Swans, meanwhile, with their last success on the road coming at Watford in December.
2.52pmIt must be said that there is a wonderful atmosphere inside the Vitality Stadium. It is a beautiful afternoon on the south coast, and it is a massive football match. Bournemouth will be wanting to give their supporters something to cheer following a poor run of form, while Swansea really need the points due to their struggles in recent weeks. There is an awful lot at stake this afternoon.
2.55pmHere we go then; both sets of players have joined us on the pitch ahead of kickoff at the Vitality Stadium. Be sure to stay tuned for what should be a cracker of a game on the south coast!
0 minKICKOFF! Bournemouth kick things off on home soil...
2 min... West Bromwich Albion will be relegated if they do not beat Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon, and as mentioned, Stoke have already gone. Swansea are in serious danger of joining them, and the Welsh outfit will be in a very difficult position if they do not pick up a result in this match.
3 minHalf-chance for the home side as Wilson drives into the Swansea box, but Fernandez just does enough at the final moment to make the challenge. Danger inside the Swansea box there.
5 minBournemouth are very much on the front foot in the early exchanges of this match, with Wilson's pace and power causing problems. Swansea just need to weather the early storm from the hosts.
7 minSwansea are struggling to get out of their own half at the moment as the home side continue to pile the pressure on. We have seen little from the Ayew brothers in the first seven minutes.
9 minGOAL DISALLOWED! Pugh strokes home for Bournemouth, but the offside flag had been raised. It was a good run from the midfielder, but he was just in an offside position.
11 minJust the one goal in the 3pm kickoffs in the Premier League, with Watford leading Newcastle 1-0 on home soil. Just a reminder that Stoke suffered a 2-1 defeat to Palace earlier this afternoon, and that result relegated the Potters. Swansea have just started to see more of the ball on the south coast.
12 minSAVE! Big chance for Swansea to take the lead as the ball falls for Van der Hoorn inside the Bournemouth box, but Begovic is on hand to make a wonderful save!
15 minAnother half-chance for the away side, this time for Mawson, as the centre-back rises highest at the far post, but his header was always too high. Much better from Swansea at the moment.
17 minCHANCE! Huge chance for the home side as Fraser delivers a brilliant cross towards the far post, but Wilson blazes wide of the post. Big opportunity for the Cherries here.
19 minCHANCE! Another big chance for the home side as Surman finds himself all alone inside the Swansea box, but the midfielder decides to look for the pass, and Swansea manage to clear their lines. Surman really should have struck towards goal there.
21 minIt is a really lively game here as both teams continue to commit players in the final third.
23 minA point would not be the worst result in the world for Swansea this afternoon, although it would give Southampton the chance to move above them later with a win at Everton.
25 minThe referee has been forced into action in the last couple of minutes due to a series of late challenges. Neither team has been able to make the most of promising free kicks though.
27 minHalf-chance for Swansea as Olsson meets a cross from Andre Ayew, and heads just over.
30 minLittle over 15 minutes of the first period remaining, and it has been a very open game of football. Swansea have certainly had their moments, but Bournemouth have also been very threatening.
32 minWatford lead Newcastle 2-0, but there are no goals in any of the other three 3pm kickoffs in the Premier League. West Bromwich Albion are still holding Tottenham at the Hawthorns.
32 minJordan Ayew fires over the Bournemouth crossbar from outside the box.
34 minYou do get the feeling that the first goal - if there indeed is one - could be crucial in this match. That said, neither defence has looked secure in the first 34 minutes of this contest.
35 minBournemouth have a free kick just on the edge of the box as Fernandez fells Wilson...
37 min... BOOKING! Olsson (Swansea) is booked for dissent.
37 minGOAL! Bournemouth 1-0 Swansea (Fraser)
38 minBournemouth take the lead in the 37th minute as Fraser finds the back of the net with a powerful strike after the free kick was played short. It did take a deflection, but Fraser will claim it!
40 minLittle over five minutes of the first period remaining, and Swansea really need to regroup here.
41 minCHANCE! Huge chance for Swansea to level as Jordan Ayew finds all sorts of space inside the Bournemouth box, but the attacker lifts the ball over the crossbar! Big moment!
43 minIt must be said that the first 43 minutes of this match have flown past, and both teams will feel that they should have scored at least twice. As it stands, Bournemouth have the advantage.
45 minWilson goes down inside the Swansea box under pressure from Van der Hoorn, but the referee is not interested. The Bournemouth forward has been impressive in the first 45 minutes here.
45+1 minWe are into the first and only minute of added time at the end of the first period.
45+2 minHALF-TIME: Bournemouth 1-0 Swansea
3.46pmSo there we have it. The referee brings the first period to a close with Bournemouth leading Swansea 1-0 at the break courtesy of a strike from Fraser in the 37th minute. Swansea have created plenty of opportunities at the Vitality Stadium, but have been unable to register here.
3.51pmSTATISTICS! Swansea shaded the first-half possession with 53%, while they had eight attempts - two of which were on target. Bournemouth, meanwhile, hit the target with two of their six attempts in the first 45 minutes. Just the one booking to report - Martin Olsson in the 36th minute.
3.56pmBENCH WATCH! Swansea have a number of attacking options on their bench this afternoon, with Abraham, Clucas, King, Narsingh and Sanches all capable of influencing proceedings in the second period. Bournemouth, meanwhile, have the likes of Defoe, Gosling, Ibe and Mousset in reserve.
46 minRESTART! Swansea resume the action here...
47 min... no changes from either side at the break, which is not too much of a surprise. However, I suspect that both managers will have alterations in mind as the second period gathers pace here.
47 minSAVE! Smart save from Begovic to keep out a strike from Jordan Ayew.
49 minGood pressure from Swansea in the early stages of the second period, and Bournemouth are just starting to sink a little bit deeper. Surely there are more goals to come in this match.
51 minHalf-chance for the home side this time as King breaks down the right before delivering a low cross towards Wilson, but Fabianski is out to claim. End-to-end football at the moment here.
51 minBOOKING! King (Bournemouth) is booked for taking a free kick without the referee's whistle. That is very strange. It will be retaken, but King has been booked here.
52 minFabianski has to turn a Fraser cross over the crossbar from the resulting free kick here.
54 minI would be astounded if we had seen the last of the goals here as both teams continue to commit players in the final third. Surely Carvalhal will be considering introducing Abraham soon-ish.
56 minDyer finds himself free inside the Bournemouth box following a long-range pass, but the winger cannot gather under pressure, and the home side have a goal-kick. Still 1-0 to the home side.
58 minBOOKING! Van der Hoorn (Swansea) is booked following a clash with Wilson.
59 minCHANCE! Cook heads over the Swansea crossbar from close range!
59 minSWANSEA SUB! Abraham replaces Dyer for the away side.
62 minWhat a huge final 30 minutes of football in Swansea's season. A defeat would not relegate the Welsh outfit, but it would leave them in a very difficult position. Can they answer back here?
64 minFrancis strikes one from distance as Bournemouth play a short free kick, but his effort was always rising over the crossbar. Not too much attacking play from Swansea at the moment here.
66 minNot too much to report in terms of chances at the moment, with both teams guilty of some mis-placed passes in the final third of the field. Little under 25 minutes of football remaining here.
68 minHalf-chance for the away side as a period of pressure ends with Carroll finding space outside the box, but his effort was always rising over the crossbar. Bournemouth are comfortable.
69 minBOOKING! Mawson (Swansea) is booked for a foul on King.
71 minLittle under 20 minutes of football remaining, and still Swansea huff and puff without really threatening to level the scores. Carvalhal will surely be considering another change here.
73 minSWANSEA SUB! King replaces Van der Hoorn for the away side.
75 minSAVE! Super save from Fabianski to keep out a header from Ake!
77 minBournemouth are the team looking most likely to score the game's second goal at the moment.
78 minSWANSEA SUB! Narsingh replaces Ki for the away side.
78 minBOURNEMOUTH SUB! Pugh is replaced by Gosling for the home side.
80 minLittle over 10 minutes of normal time remaining at the Vitality Stadium.
81 minFabianski is down to keep out a strike from Gosling as Bournemouth press for a second.
82 minBOOKING! King (Swansea) is booked for a lunge on King.
84 minLittle over five minutes of the second period remaining, and time is running out for Swansea.
85 minSAVE! Fabianski makes a wonderful save to keep out a close-range Wilson effort!
87 minSwansea will drop into the bottom three if Southampton can take something from Everton in the late kickoff. For now, Bournemouth still lead the Welsh outfit as we approach the final moments.
89 minSwansea are knocking on the door as they force a couple of corners in quick succession.
90+1 minWe are into the first of three additional minutes at the Vitality Stadium.
90+2 minBOURNEMOUTH SUB! King is replaced by Mousset for the home side.
90+3 minNot an awful lot happening here, with Swansea's challenge fizzling out.
90+4 minBOURNEMOUTH SUB! Mings replaces Wilson for the home side.
90+5 minFULL-TIME: Bournemouth 1-0 Swansea
4.52pmSo there we have it. The referee brings the second period to a close with Bournemouth recording a 1-0 win over Swansea at the Vitality Stadium. It was not the best of games, and Swansea are still in serious trouble towards the bottom of the table. Thanks for joining us for our live coverage once again!
