Bristol City 0-2 Bournemouth: Cherries return to top of the Championship with stylish win at Ashton Gate

Bournemouth restored their three-point lead at the top of the Championship with a comfortable win at Bristol City.

Jamal Lowe celebrated his first league start by steering Jack Stacey's wicked cross in from close range to put the Cherries in front.

Jordan Zemura's stunning finish doubled the lead on half-time as the visitors took firm control.

City, without a home win since January, struggled to create throughout and were fortunate not to lose more heavily as Dominic Solanke and substitute Jefferson Lerma had late goal-bound efforts blocked.

The Cherries' triumph maintained their impressive unbeaten start to the season - with five clean sheets in a row on the road in the league - while City's winless run at home now stretches to 16 matches.
