Bournemouth moved four points clear at the top of the Championship with a win against Brighton as manager Eddie Howe set club records tumbling . They scored with their first shot on target in the 70th minute , well worth the wait when Yann Kermorgant hit a wonderful 25-yard free-kick which wrong-footed Brighton goalkeeper David Stockdale and flew into the left of goal . With only their second accurate effort , in the 81st minute , Callum Wilson extended their lead by running on to Kermorgant ’ s ball over the top and twice turned Greg Halford before finishing .

Subs not used : Camp , Ward , Stanislas , Pitman , . Manager : Eddie Howe . Booked : Smith . Referee : Craig Pawson . Stadium : Amex Stadium . Attendance : 25,919 . In doing so they set a club record 106 goals in all competitions , beating 104 from the 1956-57 and 1928-29 seasons . And Wilson ’ s strike was their 89th league goal of the season , moving clear of the previous record 88 they scored in the Division Three South in the 1956-57 season . Prior to the goals they had not looked like the typically fluent Bournemouth that has made them league leaders for the majority of the campaign . The passes were hit that little bit too long , the crosses went out for goal kicks and the through balls were slightly mistimed . Brighton ’ s Leon Best got in behind their defence in the 58th minute and shaped to bend an effort into the right of goal but his shot was woeful , weak and straight at Artur Boruc . Four minutes later , Mustafa Carayol made a driving run through the middle and got a powerful shot away from the edge of the box but Bournemouth captain Tommy Elphick dived in front to block . But Bournemouth showed they can win ugly and when the game is not going their way , as well as dominating teams with their passing . Howe is well aware that nerves will come into play with his players as they battle for promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history . Yet his side are starting to demonstrate that they can handle the pressure . Four more games remain , against Reading , Sheffield Wednesday , Bolton and Charlton - a run of fixtures which they should deal with comfortably .
