Bournemouth 4-0 Lincoln: Christie scores three in a one-sided win
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- Shots 36-2, but only 8 of Bournemouth's on target
- Lincoln trailed for about 83 minutes
- Christie: 3 goals from 7 shots, 4 on target
Christie does the damage early and late
Bournemouth beat Lincoln 4-0 in the EFL Cup, and Ryan Christie scored the first goal, the second and the third. Rayan, introduced from the bench, added the fourth deep into stoppage time. Lincoln spent about 83 minutes trailing, so the visitors were chasing for almost the whole evening, and Christie supplied the goals that kept them there.
Plenty of shooting, but finishing lagged behind
Bournemouth's volume was huge but their finishing was less convincing. Only 8 of their 36 shots were on target, and Joe Gauci's four saves in the Lincoln goal kept the margin in check. The scoreline could have been heavier given how often the hosts got into shooting positions.
Lincoln barely threatened Di Gregorio
Lincoln managed two shots all night and never won a corner. Daniel Oyegoke's effort was their only one on target, so Michele Di Gregorio had a single save to make. In midfield, Yunus Konak won 12 of his 14 duels, the most by anyone in the match, but Konak stood out in a side that created very little.
The early goal set the tone
Christie's 7th-minute opener, set up by Ben Gannon-Doak, was worth +0.3 FN xPts, the highest of the night's goals. By the time the 88th-minute goal arrived the result was settled and its FN xPts was close to zero. Bournemouth protected the early lead all the way through, and Lincoln never found a moment that brought them level.
