What better way to win a derby match than a 20-yard volley!

That’s exactly what Jay Rodriguez did against Bournemouth on Sunday, as Puel’s men came from a goal down to beat Eddie Howe’s side 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium.

The former Burnley striker had put the visitors 2-1 up just after half time, but it was his third goal that was particularly special, as the 27-year-old saw a loose ball fall into his path on the edge of the box, before unleashing a volley on the turn into the corner.

It was a great goal worthy of sealing any match.
