Bournemouth climbed to second place in the Premier League with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, marking Sean Dyche's debut league match as manager. Marcus Tavernier opened the scoring directly from a corner in the first half, capitalizing on a misjudgment by goalkeeper Mat Sels. Just before the break, Elie Junior Krupi netted his fourth goal in three matches, solidifying the hosts' lead. Bournemouth remain unbeaten in eight consecutive league games, securing their best-ever start in the top flight under the guidance of Andoni Iraola.

In stark contrast, Nottingham Forest haven't tasted victory in the league since the opening day of the season and currently find themselves in the relegation zone. Despite an improved performance in the second half, the visitors failed to pose a significant threat to Bournemouth, who maintained their advantage and deservedly celebrated a home win.

Bournemouth's impressive form and stability have positioned them as one of the surprise contenders for the top spots in the league. If they continue playing at this level, they could become a serious contender in the race for European qualification.
