Half-Time Report: Callum Wilson overhead kick gives Bournemouth lead over Leicester City

Wilson stunner gives Bournemouth lead

A Callum Wilson over-head kick has given Bournemouth a 1-0 lead over Leicester City at half time this afternoon.

Leicester made a lively start to the first half, as N'Golo Kante missed an early half-chance from close range.

Riyad Mahrez thought he had given the visitors the lead on seven minutes after rounding Artur Boruc, but the Algerian was flagged offside.

The Foxes again came close to taking the lead after Danny Drinkwater found Jamie Vardy in the box, but the England international curled a shot over.

Claudio Ranieri's side had settled into the game, but it was Bournemouth who took the lead against the run of play on 24 minutes through a Wilson scissor kick.

The Cherries took control of the game following Wilson's opener, and Max Gradel came close to doubling their advantage when his free kick was punched away by Kasper Schmeichel.
