BOURNEMOUTH: STAT PACK

BOURNEMOUTH: STAT PACK

Andrew Dalton provides all the stats…

It's back to back home games for Leeds United as they look to complete their first double of the season.

Bournemouth’s Last Five Visits to Elland Road:
October 1st 2013, Leeds United 2-1 Bournemouth, Championship
March 8th 2008, Leeds United 2-0 Bournemouth, League One
November 4th 1989, Leeds United 3-0 Bournemouth, Division Two
April 1st 1989, Leeds United 3-0 Bournemouth, Division Two
October 10th 1987, Leeds United 3-2 Bournemouth, Division Two

Five Moments to Remember:
Bournemouth’s last visit to Elland Road, at the start of October 2013, saw the Whites run out 2-1 winners, thanks to goals from Ross McCormack and Dominic Poleon. Lewis Grabban had equalised for the Cherries and McCormack had a penalty saved by former Leeds loan player Darryl Flahavan.

The Elland Road meeting between the two sides in March 2008 saw the hosts run out 2-0 winners thanks to strikes from Bradley Johnson and Neil Kilkenny, both scoring their first goals for the club. The game was also remembered for the debut of Dougie Freedman.

In November 1989, Leeds kept up the pressure at the top of the old Second Division with a routine 3-0 home win thanks to goals from Ian Baird, a penalty from Gordon Strachan and one from Chris Fairclough. It kept up the Whites unbeaten home league record from the start of the season.

April Fools Day, 1989, was certainly no joke for Leeds as Carl Shutt on his debut hit a hat trick to destroy the Cherries in another 3-0 home win for the Whites. Shutt had been signed from Bristol City and had a debut to remember.

To complete the set, Bournemouth have never won a league game at Elland Road. Their first ever visit took place on October 24th 1987 and they lost out to the odd strike in 5. Leeds goals were from Bob Taylor, Peter Swan and David Rennie whilst Tommy Heffernan and Karl Richards replied for the visitors.

Five Who Have Played for Both:
