Premier League
Wembley Stadium
Well, that was fun, wasn't it? The bloke compiling the highlights probably had trouble getting it all in.
We've become something of a bogey team for the Blue Scouse in recent years and it showed.
There's no time to sit back and enjoy our handiwork though, as the fixtures are non-stop in the festive period.
Hopefully nobody will overindulge on turkey and roast potatoes, as they're a very good side on their day.
Boxing Day delight or day old leftovers?
This is the 4th season in the Premier League for Bournemouth and they've quietly solidified their place in the division.
Eddie Howe has been pretty low key on their achievements and yet he's got a lot of the attention.
They had a fairly quiet summer in the transfer market, but didn't lose anyone notable, which is hard to do.
Jefferson Lerma has slotted into their midfield almost seamlessly, but another acquisition has caught the eye.
David Brooks is only 21, but the young Welshman looks a real talent already.
The Cherries are a real mixed bag in this campaign, as they swing from the sublime to the ridiculous.
They're in 8th place in a tight mid-table and that's mainly due to their lack of draws.
8 wins and 8 losses, as well as being capable of scoring or conceding 4 goals says it all.
A 4-0 win at Vicarage Road a couple of matches after a 4-0 loss at Turf Moor shows their inconsistency.
They seem happy to play the game and give it a go, whatever that results in.
Their visit to Wembley last season was during our early run at the ground and we hadn't won there yet.
It looked like it might be another one of those days, as we struggled to break them down in the first half.
The most notable attempt on goal was from Eric Dier, as he nearly scored an own goal, which Lloris saved well.
Christian Eriksen broke the deadlock just after the break though, which lifted a cloud and settled us down.
A second evaded us and Jermain Defoe nearly came back to haunt us from the bench, but we held on:

The trip to Dean Court came during a fantastic run of form, but it looked like it might end there early on.
Junior Stanislas gave them the lead after 7 minutes and they were still ahead when Kane left the pitch.
He hobbled off around the half hour and things looked grim, but it was soon to change.
Alli leveled it up before the break and Son put us ahead after an hour as we ran them ragged.
A second from the Korean late on and an Aurier goal in injury time put some gloss on an impressive recovery:

No injury news yet, but Aurier, Dembele, Dier, Vertonghen and Wanyama will probably all miss out again.
Adam Smith, Dan Gosling and Lewis Cook are out for the visitors. Neither side has any suspensions.
Lineups for each side's last league game:
Spurs: Lloris; Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Sissoko, Winks, Eriksen, Alli; Kane, Son.
Subs: Gazzaniga, Walker-Peters, Foyth, Rose, Skipp, Lamela, Moura.
League form: WLWWWW.
Bournemouth: Begovic; Francis, S. Cook, Ake, Daniels; Brooks, Lerma, Surman, Stanislas; Wilson, King.
Subs: Boruc, Mings, Rico, Ibe, Fraser, Mousset, Defoe.
League form: LLWLLW.
Referee: Chris Kavanagh.
TV: Not televised.
It's a quick turnaround and I'd assume that we'll make some changes, but who can we risk?
Did anyone look particularly leggy against Everton or is there someone that you think is more suited to this one?
Should we stick with the 4-4-2, which Bournemouth also favour or switch to one of our other systems?
