The 22-year-old’s sweet left-foot strike gave the Cherries the lead as they went on to beat Brighton 2-1 to leave them fourth in the early table.

‘It’s very good if he can add these things to his game,’ head coach Andoni Iraola told AFCBTV after the match.

‘In every training [session], he has this danger from the edge - normally more right foot than left foot.’

‘But today he scored a lovely goal and it was a good moment,’ said Iraola.

It is the Guernseyman’s second goal in the top-flight of English football, with his first having come away at Tottenham Hotspur on New Year’s Eve 2023.

Scott has started all four games so far as Bournemouth have made their best start to a Premier League season, taking nine points from the 12 available.
