A 2-0 game gave birth to the biggest dark horse in the Premier League. The defense was hollowed out in the summer window. Now it ranks second behind Liverpool and Manchester City.

The ninth round of the Premier League has ended. In this round, the three favorites Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea all unexpectedly overturned and lost to their respective opponents. And their unexpected defeat also became a "big dark horse". After 9 rounds, this past relegation team unexpectedly reached second place in the standings, second only to the leader Arsenal. If they can continue their good form until the end of the season, they may have a place in the European competition next season!

This team that has repeatedly surprised everyone is Bournemouth led by Spanish coach Iraura. In this summer transfer window, Bournemouth's defense suffered a devastating blow. All three of their defense cores were poached by wealthy teams. Huizen joined Real Madrid, Zabarni moved to French Ligue 1 hegemon PSG, and Kyle Ketz was taken away by Liverpool. Originally, everyone thought that after losing many main players, Bournemouth's performance this season would definitely plummet, but they used their performance to slap all the doubters in the face.

In the league this season, Bournemouth remained unbeaten in all remaining games except for losing to Liverpool in the first round. In this round against Nottingham Forest, last season's dark polo team, Bournemouth still showed its strong momentum. In the 25th minute, Tavernier chose to shoot directly when taking the corner kick. The ball drew a beautiful arc and flew into the net. With this earth-shattering shot, Bournemouth successfully broke the deadlock and took a 1-0 lead.

In the 40th minute, Bournemouth made a comeback. After getting the ball in the midfield, Crupi dribbled the ball all the way. After realizing that his teammates on both sides were not keeping up, Crupi swung his shot away from the angle and kicked decisively. The ball passed the ground and went straight to the back corner. Although the Nottingham Forest goalkeeper made a full save, he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net, 2-0! Bournemouth successfully expanded the score!

Not to be outdone, Nottingham Forest launched a frantic counterattack, but facing Bournemouth's tight defense, they could not find a good way to score. Nottingham Forest, who finally failed to score goals, had to swallow the bitter pill of defeat and suffered an embarrassing four-game losing streak in the league.

After winning this game, Bournemouth's points have risen to 18 points. They have also successfully defeated Tottenham with 17 points, Manchester City with 16 points and Liverpool with 15 points, temporarily ranking second in the standings, second only to Arsenal, who scored 22 points. In the next round of competition, Bournemouth will have a direct dialogue with Manchester City. I wonder if this dark horse can still create a miracle and overthrow the Blue Moon Legion in the away game?
