Marcus Tavernier and Justin Kluivert’s first Premier League goals of the season earned AFC Bournemouth a 3-1 win against Sheffield United, their first away victory of the campaign.
Tavernier produced a brace either side of Kluivert's goal before Oli McBurnie scored a consolation goal in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time.

In the third minute of first-half stoppage time Bournemouth doubled their lead after a terrible mistake by Foderingham. The Sheff Utd goalkeeper rushed out of his net, but was dispossessed by Kluivert, who placed his shot into an empty net.
It was the Dutchman’s first goal in the Premier League, making him only the second player to score in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga, after Stevan Jovetic.
Bournemouth's third came when Adam Smith’s cross to the back post was finished off by Tavernier. The midfielder ghosted past Oliver Norwood and produced a fine side-footed finish for his second of the match in the 51st minute.
Bournemouth nearly had a fourth when Semenyo drove with the ball into the Sheff Utd box and unleashed a low driven shot that fell into the path of Dominic Solanke, who missed from close range.
Sheff Utd tried to mount a comeback but were unsuccessful as a header from substitute McBurnie and a shot from William Osula were comfortably saved by Neto.
However, the Blades were able to grab a late consolation goal from McBurnie's back-post header.
Bournemouth, who have now won three of their last four matches, are 16th and seven points clear of 18th-placed Sheff Utd.
