		</div><p>Dominic Solanke was the late match-winner as Bournemouth came from behind to beat Fulham 2-1 and claim a potentially pivotal win in their battle for Premier League survival.</p>
<p>The Cherries looked to be heading for a third defeat in four games when Andreas Pereira gave dominant Fulham a half-time lead.</p>
<p>But Marcus Tavernier’s superb solo effort and Solanke’s scrambled late winner were the catalyst of a character-laden comeback to haul Bournemouth out of the relegation places.</p>
<p>Fulham were without suspended duo Willian and Aleksandar Mitrovic following their red cards in the ill-tempered FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Manchester United.</p>
<p>But the visitors were still comfortably the better team in the first half and took just 16 minutes to open the scoring.</p>
<p>Willian’s replacement Manor Solomon broke free down the left before cutting the ball back for Harrison Reed to tee up Pereira, who fired home his first Premier League goal since November.</p>
<p>The lead could have been doubled seven minutes later when Antonee Robinson rattled the crossbar from 22 yards out.</p>
<p>It took until the 31st minute for Bournemouth to create a meaningful chance as Dango Ouattarra guided a left-footed shot just wide after neat combination play from Solanke and Philip Billing.</p>
<p>Pereira’s acrobatic overhead kick had Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto momentarily concerned before the Argentinian’s opposite number Bernd Leno produced a smart save with his legs to deny Solanke.</p>
<p>Bournemouth boss Gary O’Neil summoned the fit-again Tavernier and Ryan Christie off the bench at half-time and his side were much improved in the second half.</p>
<p>Tavernier, sidelined by injury since February, took just five minutes to make his mark with a stunning equaliser.</p>
<p>Leno looked to have got enough distance on his punch away from a corner only for Tavernier to pick up the loose ball before cutting in from the right and curling an unstoppable left-footed shot into the top corner from 20 yards out.</p>
<p>Tavenier came close to claiming his and the Cherries’ second moments later when the suddenly overworked Leno spread himself to block the former Middlesborough man’s near-post effort.</p>
<p>Jefferson Lerma then saw his attempt from midway inside the penalty area diverted onto the roof of the net as Fulham found themselves firmly under the cosh.</p>

<p>Jefferson Lerma then saw his attempt from midway inside the penalty area diverted onto the roof of the net as Fulham found themselves firmly under the cosh.</p>
<p>The Cherries took a deserved lead 11 minutes from time courtesy of a scruffy strike from Solanke.</p>
<p>Ryan Christie’s initial low shot was parried out by Leno and Solanke was on hand to bundle the rebound over the line from point blank range.</p>
<p>Solanke has now scored four goals in five career appearances against Fulham.</p>
<p>Fulham used all five of their available substitutes but never threatened to deny Bournemouth their victory.</p>
<p>Defeat leaves Marco Silva’s men four points off the European places.</p>
