How they rated

LUKASZ FABIANSKI

Had little chance with the first goal and was well beaten by Afobe for the second. Just about kept Swansea in the game with a candidate for save of the season thanks to his incredible stop from Josh King’s header. Distribution was not always on the money, with one particularly poor clearance gave Stuart Fraser a sight of goal

LEROY FER

Deserves huge credit for his performance in an unfamiliar position. Had a very shaky start as the Cherries looked to cap on his uncertainty from the off. Had his struggles but settled down with a solid display and did all that could be asked of him under the circumstances.

FEDRICO FERNANDEZ

The Argentinian’s form since Clement’s arrival had seen him rewarded with a new contract, but his form has decidedly dipped since then. Having been caught out for Hull’s first goal last weekend, he was undone in similar fashion here. His decision to charge up to Josh King left Swansea short of numbers, leading to the own goal. Went walkabout on a few occasions after the break

ALFIE MAWSON

Was unfortunate to give away the opener as his block simply took Afobe’s shot beyond an already committed Fabianski. Had handled Afobe far better than he had in the reverse fixture until Gosling’s pass caught him out and the striker put the game to bed.

STEPHEN KINGSLEY

This was his first start since the 4-0 defeat to Arsenal. Filling Martin Olsson’s boots was always going to be a tough ask, and he never really looked like making the sort of impact the Sweden international has in several recent appearances. Did not always have as much cover as he may have liked, but was ill at ease against Ryan Fraser and also uncharacteristically wasteful when he ventured forward.

JACK CORK (CAPT)

Got through his usual mountain of work, making a number of tackles and interceptions as Swansea recovered from a nervy opening. But offered little in an attacking sense, with Swansea’s midfield rarely threatening to directly hurt the visiting defence.

KI SUNG-YUENG

His first start since the defeat to Arsenal. Made a bright enough start but gradually faded as the game went on. Lost out on some important challenges in the middle of the field and he was sacrificed as Paul Clement looked to stretch the game by switching to a system with orthodox wingers.

JORDAN AYEW

Looked lively during the opening exchanges with his assured touch and linked well with those around him as he appeared to enjoy his full Swansea debut, However his impact faded, and while he looked to get involved he rarely managed to actually get beyond Bournemouth left-back Charlie Daniels.

GYLFI SIGURDSSON

Looked to be Swansea’s best chance of finding a goal given how toothless the visitors were in attack. Forced Artur Boruc into one full-length save with a wicked curling strike, while his team-mates failed to make the most of his typically on-point set-piece delivery.

FERNANDO LLORENTE

Had overcome a dead leg to start but never threatened to be the powerful presence he has been during Swansea’s recent climb up the table. In fairness, he did not receive anywhere near the quality of service required for him to be effective and there must be question marks over whether he was fully fit. Nonetheless, poor by his standards.
