HAY-TRICK hero Callum Wilson scored his first Premier League goals since January 3 to help sink Huddersfield.
The Bournemouth striker, back from a long lay-off following knee ligament injuries, set the Vitality alight as the Cherries finished with finished with ten men.
There was no Jermain Defoe in Bournemouth's squad but they didn't need him, as Josh King and Wilson formed a devastating partnership. Wilson opened the scoring in the 27th minute when he headed in from Jordon Ibe's corner as Huddersfield were caught ball watching.
And the Yorkshire side were again all at sea four minutes later when Wilson doubled the home side's lead.
Martin Cranie, making his first Premier League start in 10 years, was caught out as Harry Arter trotted back from an offside position, allowing Wilson to sweep home from Andrew Surman's free kick. It was a simple finish but one which left Huddersfield fuming as they thought they should have had a foul in the build-up when Florent Hadergjonaj was caught by Charlie Daniels.
King then had a glorious chance to make it three but fired wide after a decent spell of possession.
But Bournemouth were reduced to 10 men when their captain Simon Francis was sent off for a second yellow card within 10 minutes of the first.
There was no doubt it was a booking, as he tripped Rajiv van La Parra, who had been given the defender the run around. Huddersfield started the second half with renewed passion but for all their possession they looked toothless up front.
And they were punished as Arter made it 3-0 when he unleashed a low shot past Jonas Lossl after dispossessing Scott Malone. Wilson completed his hat-trick with a sweet finish six minutes from full-time.
First, Wilson played it wide to King who surged forward before unselfishly cutting the ball back for Wilson to thump into the net.
