Goals from Tom Barkhuizen, Scott Sinclair and Patrick Bauer giving PNE a lead that Junior Stanislas and Sam Surridge cut down, but the Cherries couldn't find an equaliser.
Here's how the players fared on the night...
1. Declan Rudd - 7
Another solid performance from the PNE 'keeper who didn't have much to do despite conceding twice. Could do nothing about the two goals.
2. Alan Browne - 8
An excellent display at right back, Bournemouth came down their left a lot in the first half and were repelled each time, leading to the sub of Riquelme on that wing.
3. Patrick Bauer - 8
A strong display from the German and popped up with a well taken goal. Sadly, due to an Achilles injury, he'll miss the rest of the season after being stretchered off. All the best to him in his recovery.
4. Ben Davies - 8
The other half of the solid defensive pair on the night, limited Bournemouth to very few chances, with two goals a bit flattering. Unlucky to be booked for what looked a well timed tackle.
