CHERRIES boss Eddie Howe delivers his post-match verdict following tonight’s 5-1 demolition of Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Brett Pitman rounded off an incisive team move to opening the scoring during the first half, a lead Matt Ritchie’s deflected effort doubled before the interval.

Pitman’s virtuoso strike made it three and although Matt Smith grabbed one back for Fulham, Ritchie netted a free-kick after Fernando Amorebieta had been sent off for bringing down Callum Wilson on the edge of the box.

Steve Cook rounded off the scoring with a stunning strike across goal four minutes from time.
