Harry Arter scored his second wonder goal in five days as Bournemouth stepped up their bid to reach the Premier League with an emphatic 3-0 win over Middlesbrough, yesterday.

Arter’s powerful 20-yard strike early in the second half was sandwiched between penalties from Yann Kermorgant and substitute Brett Pitman as Bournemouth leapfrogged Middlesbrough in the Championship table to assert their claim for automatic promotion.

Newly called up by the Republic of Ireland, Arter also showed his quality with a stunning goal in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Cardiff.
