We are not destined to approve deforestation, but sometimes you just have to give credit to those with the ax. Bournemouth was simply magnificent in his brutality.
And, of course, that is nothing new. They have been for some time, moving towards an unbeaten streak of 10 league games before this, but who could have hoped to reduce the Nottingham forest to astillas like this?
Who could have predicted that when the two most surprising and refreshing bolters were found in the division, there would be such a conclusive winner?
To contextualize, we go to the song that echoed three corners of the vitality stadium during the detention time: 'We want six'.
The poor souls did not understand it, but five were abundant. Five was a mauling. Five was more than what the brilliant team of Nuno Espirito Santo had granted in his previous seven games of the Premier League combined in his increase to the first three.
If that race had slightly darkened the wonders of Bournemouth's own campaign, then how those roles were invested. Dango Ouattara was the main act, scoring a hat-trick of the second half, but there were many more components, including Justin Kluivert, whose three against Newcastle were followed by the starter here and added an assistance. Antoine Semenyo wrapped it, but the greatest detail is the way the Andoni Iraola team plays.

They are breathless, frantic, a vision of movement. Like the forest, they are direct and fast, which makes both sides a charming point of difference for the attacker patience that we generally see in the upper scopes of the tables, but they imposed themselves in the forest. They pressed them on earth.
Perhaps for the first time in this campaign, Bournemouth also managed to make Forest predictable. Those long balls and rapid breaks that maintained Liverpool fifteen days ago almost had no voice in this game. They were simply gathered and returned with Venom and hard. He was brilliant and convincing to see.
That Iraola is able to achieve such a complex choreography with 11 injured men is an achievement, but it is working against many styles.
For this, the challenge was whether his fantasy for risk football and reward would play wishes on one side that counteracts with absolute vicious.
The first signs favored the forest: in 15 seconds, Matz Sels stepped on a lot, Chris Wood quickly fed from Anthony Elanga and the strike was just a fraction wide.
But Bournemouth quickly took a subtle control in the game and its first game, in the ninth minute, it was a Belter in two parts. First, he arrived in the one -touch rondo between David Brooks, Lewis Cook, Ryan Christie and Tyler Adams to unearthed from a swarm of blue shirts in his own area, before the latter curls a ball to Kluivert.
His load began 10 yards inside his own half and the more the forest was removed, the more he disinhibited Kluivert turned.
Upon reaching the edge of the forest box, he drilled low, already hard of Sels. Nuno seemed to think that Ola Aina had the responsibility to intervene to challenge, and he was right, but this was a objective created instead of granted.

Forest achieved a kind of response, with Ryan Yates and Morgan Gibbs-White sharing a pair of dangerous volley to the goal, before Sels came out of sememese at the other end. He was being formed in that afternoon for Nuno, where the impulse lived only in short bursts.
His game rose early in the second half. The 2-0 strike originated with a corner of Bournemouth that Forest partially cleared, only to be trapped in the heels when Cook got into the left channel for Kluivert. His cross was good but he had nothing in the jump with which Ouattara beat Murillo in the header.
Kluivert had a properly rejected objective a couple of minutes later outside the game, although frustration decreased rapidly, with Adams taking advantage of Nathan Domínguez's carelessness and helping Outtara for his second game. Murillo, so impressive this season, turned too easily before the shot.
The fourth goes back to a greater error, this time from Sels, another great artist, who was caught between thoughts to palmar a relatively meek marcus tovernier. It was an increase that fell at the feet of the man too happy to please with a hat-trick.
Even then there was time for a fifth, nailed by Sememeyo in a Tavernier assistance. The crowd wanted more, but he will learn to live with his disappointment.
