Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 22:57 · Archive

Bournemouth won at Sparta Prague to remain unbeaten in the Europa League after four rounds.

Bournemouth travelled to Sparta Prague on Thursday evening aiming to maintain their perfect start in the Europa League. The English side has been unbeaten in the competition, winning all four of their opening group phase fixtures against Milan, Sturm Graz and Real Sociedad, and secured another victory in Prague to extend that record.

The Daily Mail reports that Bournemouth's bench played a key role in securing the win, with substitute players contributing to their comeback victory. The win maintains their strong position in the competition as they look to progress further.

Amine Adli, the winger on loan at Bournemouth who reached the 2024 Europa League final with Leverkusen, said ahead of the match that the journey to the final remained a long one. 'We need to be very reasonable, we know that it's a long way and I especially know it,' he said. 'It's a long way to the final.'

Bournemouth have also surged to eighth place in the Premier League following three consecutive league wins, combining their domestic form with their European campaign. The club has made an impressive start to its maiden European campaign this season.
