Goals from Tom Barkhuizen, Scott Sinclair and Patrick Bauer giving PNE a lead that Junior Stanislas and Sam Surridge cut down, but the Cherries couldn't find an equaliser.
Here's how the players fared on the night...
5. Joe Rafferty - 7
Had less to do down his side but that may be a compliment to his intelligent defending normally. Anything that did come down his side rarely ended with anything relating to a chance.
6. Ben Pearson - 8
Covered every blade of grass and marshalled the midfield effectively, sets the tone in the centre and wins the ball all over the pitch, picking the pocket on the edge of the Bournemouth box too.
7. Ryan Ledson - 7
Good work in the midfield alongside Pearson, showed his vision too with a few cutting forward passes. Looks to be in good tandem with Pearson this season, coming away from the understudy tag.
8. Tom Barkhuizen - 7
His pace always causes problems and no one could keep up with him as he was first to get on the end of Johnson's cross that was ahead of Sinclair even. Diligent work in defence too.
