Stanislas’ goal leads Bournemouth to milestone top-half finish

Leicester City squandered a host of second-half chances as Bournemouth held on for a point.
Bournemouth ended the 2016-17 campaign in decent fashion with a 1-1 draw against last season’s champions Leicester City at their own ground. The Cherries’ away form has been mediocre at best this season, but the point secured at the King Power stadium earned them a place in the Premier League’s top 10. It might be insignificant to the rest of the division, but to Eddie Howe and his team it’s another standout moment in the club’s growing history.
