Bournemouth have gone top of the Championship after a 2-0 win away to 10-man Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough this evening.

The hosts had Royston Drenthe sent off on the hour mark before goals from Andrew Surman and Ryan Fraser sent Eddie Howe's team top of the table.

On-loan Cherries keeper Artur Boruc was called into action twice in quick succession to deny the lively Drenthe from range.

Jacques Maghoma's patient approach was nearly rewarded with the opening goal but Giles Coke skewed the effort wide of the goal on 12 minutes.

Coke then headed wide from Drenthe's cross on 23 minutes as Wednesday searched for the opening goal before Callum Wilson was denied by Keiren Westwood.

Drenthe was given his marching orders on the hour mark after he picked up his second booking of the evening, and the Cherries made their numerical advantage count with two goals in five minutes.

The visitors had their lead after the hour mark when Surman curled in an effort on the edge of the box before Fraser's smart finish doubled the advantage.
