CHERRIES midfielder Alex Scott has called upon his teammates to step up and deliver goals – stating that they cannot keep relying on Dominic Solanke.

With 14 Premier League strikes this term Solanke is Cherries’ top plunderer in front of goal, making up over 40 per cent of the side’s top-flight tally.

Justin Kluivert, currently on three goals in the league, is Cherries’ next top goalscorer, highlighting the reliance the Dorset club have on their talisman.

A knee issue could keep Solanke out of action this afternoon when Cherries visit struggling Burnley (1pm).

He missed Tuesday night's disappointing 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Leicester City.

Even with Solanke starting, Cherries have struggled since entering the new year, with three points from their last seven Premier League encounters.

Since their last Prem win Cherries have scored five goals in the league, recording blanks at home against Liverpool and Manchester City.

Scott shared: “I think just as good as he is, we can't just rely on Dom every week.

“The first half of the season, he was brilliant for us,  scoring goals week in, week out.

“It's down to us as players, midfielders, defenders chipping in with goals as well.

“Like I said, we can't just keep relying on Dom get us out of games, and win us games.

“We're happy when he does it, but, we've got to be better.

“(Against Leicester), not good enough in their box. Man City, we had chances to score and not put them to bed.

“We'll regroup.

“They're going to come, we know the quality we have in the side.

“There’s goals everywhere – we see it in training, leading up to the game.

“It’s something at the minute that’s just not clicking in the opposition box.

“But we'll work to improve.

“And that's something going into Sunday that we'll definitely look at in training.”
