Bournemouth secured their first-ever home win in the English Premier League with a 2-0 victory over 10-man visitors Sunderland on Saturday.

Bournemouth, last season's second-tier Championship winners, needed less than 10 minutes to do the damage against the rock-bottom Black Cats.

Striker Callum Wilson rocketed in a shot in the fourth minute, before Scotland right-winger Matt Ritchie volleyed in a stunning strike from the edge of the penalty box in the ninth.

Sunderland finished the match with 10 men after former France centre-back Younes Kaboul was dismissed for a second bookable offence.

Bournemouth's win leaves them 11th in the table after six matches, while Sunderland are 20th, with just two points from their opening six games.

In front of 11,271 fans packed into the tiny Dean Court stadium on the south coast, Sunderland never recovered from their early shock.

Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat made one change from the side that lost 1-0 at home to Tottenham on September 13, bringing in Sebastian Coates for the ill John O'Shea.

Bournemouth were looking to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat at Norwich on September 12. Cherries manager Eddie Howe made five changes, and the uncharacteristic move swiftly paid dividends.

For the opener, Wilson caught out Kaboul, turning away from the defender and blasting his shot past Sunderland goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon.

And five minutes later, the Cherries doubled their advantage.

Sunderland failed to clear a corner kick properly and Ritchie, on the edge of the penalty box, took the ball on his chest and volleyed a dazzling shot into the top left corner of the goal.

Advocaat threw on Jack Rodwell at the interval and the midfielder did revitalise the Black Cats, seeing an effort deflected behind for a corner.

Jeremain Lens thought he had pulled one back for Bournemouth from the resulting set-piece but his headed effort was wrongly ruled out for offside.

Kaboul was booked shortly before half-time for bringing down Wilson near the edge of the penalty box and was spoken to by referee.

But he did not heed the warning and after hauling down Wilson once again in the 74th minute, he was sent off for a second yellow card.

Marc Pugh then nearly added a third goal for the hosts but his shot into the grass bounced on to Pantilimon's crossbar and was cleared away.

However, by that stage, Bournemouth had already comfortably secured their second win of the season in their bid to stay in the top flight.
