Jamal Lowe nets dramatic winner as Bournemouth late show stuns 10-man Stoke

Jamal Lowe grabbed an 89th-minute winner as promotion-chasing Bournemouth produced a late show to beat Stoke 2-1 at home.

Winger Lowe thrashed in the decider after Dominic Solanke had bundled in his 20th Championship goal of the season with seven minutes to spare.

Smith latched onto a free ball after Chris Mepham’s last-ditch tackle halted Jacob Brown with the right wing-back thrashing in off the post.

It was the 29-year-old’s first goal since scoring an almost identical goal at the Vitality Stadium on the last day of last season.

The Cherries appeared to lose their composure as Todd Cantwell and Lewis Cook both gave the ball away in midfield.

Cantwell was bailed out by keeper Mark Travers’ fingertips to deny Brown and Cook when Nick Powell’s effort was deflected over the bar.

Stoke’s dominance came crashing down in the 32nd minute when Fox was shown the second red card of his career.

The left-sided defender overran the ball before crashing studs first into Billing.

It summed up a feisty first-half battle, which also saw Tommy Smith, Brown, Mepham and Lowe booked.
