Three goals in the first 20 minutes powered Accrington past Bournemouth for their first win in five games.

Terry Gornell threaded the ball through for Paul Mullin to slot home his fifth goal of the season in the third minute.

A Gornell shot then took a deflection after 13 minutes and looped over keeper Shawn Jalal for the second.

With Bornemouth shell-shocked, rampant Stanley made it three when on-loan midfielder Rostyn Griffiths lashed a shot into the roof of the net.
