Bournemouth secured a crucial three-point haul at the Molineux Stadium, as 19-year-old wunderkind Eli Juniour Kroupi netted his eighth Premier League goal of the season in a 2-0 thrashing of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Kroupi's stunning strike from outside the box sealed the win for the Cherries, who handed Wolves their first home defeat under manager Bruno Lage. The young forward's precision and power left the Wolves' defense reeling as he rifled home with just over an hour on the clock.
The visitors' opener came courtesy of a deft finish from Kourtis Holmes, who slotted past the outstretched glove of Wolves goalkeeper Joao Vicente to double Bournemouth's lead. The Cherries dominated possession and posed questions to Lage's side throughout the encounter, with their counter-attacking prowess proving too much for the hosts to handle.
Wolves' search for a second goal was in vain as the Bournemouth defense held firm, keeping the visitors at bay until Kroupi sealed his impressive goal tally. The win marked a significant scalp for the Cherries, who moved up the table with the three points.
In contrast, Wolves remain mired in mid-table mediocrity, their 2-0 thrashing providing a stark reminder of how far they have to go to restore themselves as Premier League contenders.

his goals are like art on the pitch! bournemouth deserved that win so much they were playing like total champs 
19 and already 8 premier league goals? the kid is a genius! wolves need to step up their game if they wanna be back in contention 
and what's up with kourtis holmes? he's like a ghost on the pitch, always scoring for bournemouth 
! The kid's got skills for days, and that goal was absolute perfection 
. I mean, who can hit the ball like that from outside the box? He's got all the qualities - pace, power, and precision. Wolves were done for after that first goal, and Bournemouth just ran circles around them 
.
. Kroupi's just another example of why Bournemouth are ahead of the pack this season 
.
and it's clear that bournemouth has some serious depth this season. wolves are struggling to keep up, tbh 
but hey, at least they can take solace in knowing they're not alone 
! that goal from outside the box was pure magic 
️. bournemouth's counter-attacking gameplan is really paying off 
. gotta give credit to bournemouth, they're doing some nice things and moving up the table 
The only thing that worries me now is Wolves' chances of getting out of mid-table, they need to sort themselves out ASAP 
. Anyway, Kroupi's goal tally is insane, 8 in one season? That's like a striker from the 90s like Shearer or Cantona, just pure magic 
his goal was insane from outside the box and the cherry fans are going wild 
i mean wolves thought they could take him down but he proved them wrong again 
bournemouth's defense was solid too, they really put pressure on wolves all game 
Kroupi is only 19 and already scoring like a pro! His goal was insane, I mean I've seen some good ones in my time, but that one took the cake 
. Wolves are really struggling this season, I feel bad for them, they're just not matching up to the rest of the teams. Bournemouth's win is huge for them, it shows they can compete with anyone. I hope Kroupi keeps doing his thing and becomes a superstar 
, but the thing that really got me was Wolves' search for a second goal... it's like they just gave up 
he's like the new christiano Ronaldo or something! that strike from outside the box was pure magic 
bournemouth totally dominated possession and posed so many questions to wolfs, they just couldn't handle the pressure.
meanwhile bournemouth is flying high and looking like a solid top 6 contender 
. I mean, sure, Kroupi's goals are incredible, but what about the rest of the team? If they can't support him and keep up with his pace, they're always gonna struggle. That's just basic football 101 
. They need to step up their game if they wanna compete with the top teams. Anyone got a prediction for how far Bournemouth'll go this season? 
️ he's got some serious skills 
and precision on the field 
i love how he scored from outside the box 
it's like a work of art masterstroke 
they played so much better than wolves 
the cherries are definitely on the rise 
kourtis holmes was fire 
. And what's with the emphasis on Kroupi being some kind of "wunderkind"? He's talented, don't get me wrong 
, but Wolves aren't as bad off as everyone makes 'em out to be 
. Bruno Lage's got a solid team there and they've been in tough spots before... maybe this is just one of those games that went their way? 
I'm loving Eli Kroupi's season so far!!! The kid is a genius on the pitch! 
. I mean, that strike from outside the box? 
.
.
. They need to figure out what's going wrong and get those players firing on all cylinders 
!
wolves need to step up their game, they're getting left behind in mid-table mediocrity 
kroupi's goal tally is insane 8 premier league goals already?!? what a talent
