Bournemouth's Joshua King pleased to open goalscoring account
Wednesday 20 September 2017 13:42, UK
Joshua King was delighted to score his first goal of the season on Tuesday during Bournemouth's 1-0 win over Brighton, and make it two wins in five days over the Seagulls.
On Friday, the Cherries picked up their first Premier League points of the campaign with a 2-1 win over Chris Hughton's newly-promoted side.
Bournemouth then followed it up as King scored the only goal in an extra-time victory in the Carabao Cup.
With a trip to Everton on Saturday awaiting Bournemouth, King says matters are looking up: "We started the season badly, by our standards, but we know where we need to be.
"Even though we won on Friday, we know we can do better. We've got a tough game on Saturday against Everton and we have to be up for it.
