Bournemouth flatten Forest for biggest win of season
Dango Ouattara hit a hat-trick as Bournemouth extended their club-record unbeaten run to dent Nottingham Forest's top four charge with a 5-0 demolition at the Vitality Stadium.
Andoni Iraola's side are undefeated in their last 11 league games and up to sixth place after ending third-placed Forest's own impressive run of eight top-flight matches without losing.
Justin Kluivert struck for Bournemouth in the ninth minute for his sixth goal in his last four games.
Ouattara increased Bournemouth's lead in the 55th minute when he nodded in from Kluivert's cross.
The Burkina Faso winger bagged his second six minutes later and completed a memorable treble three minutes from full-time.
There was still time for Antoine Semenyo to net in the final minutes as Bournemouth followed last weekend's superb 4-1 win at Newcastle with their biggest victory this season.
