Solanke's Hat-Trick Secures Bournemouth Victory Amid Controversial Red Card

Nottingham Forest's new coach Nuno Espirito Santo left furious after defender Willy Boly's contentious dismissal in his first match in charge.

  • Dominic Solanke's hat-trick secured Bournemouth a Premier League record with their fourth successive away win in a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest.
  • Nottingham Forest's defender Willy Boly was controversially sent off in the 23rd minute, a decision that has been widely criticized and left Forest's new coach, Nuno Espirito Santo, and the club's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, furious.
  • Despite being down to 10 men, Forest managed to take the lead through Anthony Elanga and later equalized with a goal from Chris Wood, but Solanke's third goal in added time sealed the win for Bournemouth.
  • This was Nuno Espirito Santo's first match in charge of Nottingham Forest after replacing Steve Cooper earlier in the week.
  • The match has sparked discussions about the use of VAR in football, as it could not intervene in the decision to send Boly off because it was a second yellow card offence.
