BournemouthScores to secure the 2-0 win
Scott scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Scott scored his second goal of the season in the Premier League, having also scored a goal in the FA Cup recently. This was the seventh Premier League game this season in which he has attempted two or more shots in a game. In the 15 shots in these games he has only managed two shots on target, one of which was the goal in this game.
Sets up opener
Scott assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Liverpool.
Analysis: Scott brilliantly kept the ball in play and squared it off to Evanilson for the opener in the 26th minute. Scott won four duels and also made two clearances and a tackle. He has now contributed to two goals in the last three games across all competitions.
Starting immediately
Scott (head) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Chelsea.
Analysis: Scott was a late call after some fitness issues due to a knock to the jaw but has come through on the correct side, with the midfielder an option for the starting XI immediately. He has now started in two straight games and should maintain this role, starting in 16 of his 19 appearances this season while recording one goal contribution.
Late call for Tuesday
Scott (jaw) is a late call for Tuesday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Andoni Iraola, per Alexander Smith of the Bournemouth Echo. "Last season, he broke his jaw in the situation. And I hope he doesn't have more than just the big knock - he was complaining about the jaw, and we play in three days. I hope it's just the knock and there is nothing there. But it's true that he was in a lot of pain, and we will have to assess him."
Analysis: Scott was forced off the field with a knock to the head during the club's last outing and is now battling a late fitness test, with the midfielder worried of a jaw injury. This comes after he suffered a similar injury last season, hoping he isn't affected by anything too serious. He did start in their last match, so this is something to monitor as they take the field, with Ryan Christie and Lewis Cook as possible replacements.
Off after knock to head
Scott was forced off the field in the 84th minute of Saturday's 4-1 loss to Brentford due to an apparent head injury.
Analysis: Scott would earn the start for the first time in two games Saturday, but left the field with only a few minutes to go, appearing to fear a concussion after a knock to the head. This will be something to watch heading into the short week, with two games in the next seven days. He is a typical starter in the midfield, so this could be a rough loss, with Ryan Christie or Lewis Cook as replacements.
Four crosses in draw
Scott generated one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Chelsea.
Analysis: Scott led the Bournemouth attack Saturday in crosses (four attempted, one accurate) and corners (four) as his side played to a 0-0 draw versus visitors Chelsea. Across his last five appearances (five starts), the holding-midfielder has delivered 18 crosses (one accurate) and 13 corners without creating a chance. Scott has three career Premier League goal contributions for Bournemouth across 58 appearances (33 starts) dating back to the 2023/24 campaign.
Goal in strong performance
Scott scored one goal to go with one shot (on goal), one cross (not accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Brighton.
Analysis: Scott scored Bournemouth's opener Saturday in their 2-1 win over Brighton, curling a sublime left-footed strike into the top corner for his first league goal since December 2023. The 22-year-old showed his physicality throughout the match, winning seven of the 11 duels he engaged in, and was subbed after 67 minutes. He has been a regular starter this season and his performance suggests he's regaining the attacking form that made him a key contributor in previous campaigns.
