Defoe strike eases pressure on Bournemouth boss

Jermain Defoe is pictured firing Bournemouth to their first win of the Premier League season to relieve mounting pressure on boss Eddie Howe. The 34-year-old rifled his first Bournemouth goal in 16 years as the Cherries came from behind to sink visitors Brighton 2-1.

Solly March’s header had Brighton dreaming of a second successive Premier League win, but Andrew Surman coolly levelled before England poacher Defoe stole the victory. Picture: Getty.
