Here, Sports Mole rates every player on their performance at Carrow Road.


NORWICH

Goal

John Ruddy: Could do nothing to prevent Cook from finding the net late in the game. Made one good reaction stop to deny Wilson just before the half. Handling and kicking were solid throughout the contest. (7/10)

Defence

Andre Wisdom: Had a decent first Premier League start for the Canaries as he coped well defensively and raided down the right to support Redmond. (7/10)

Russell Martin: Had occasional troubles with the pace of Wilson, but the supply from the Bournemouth midfield limited his difficulty with the forward. (6/10)

Sebastien Bassong: Was a solid presence in the back four and won the majority of aerial duels over the course of the afternoon. (7/10)

Robbie Brady: A threat in the final third and was unlucky not to find the back of the net with a low drive that struck the post. Was defensively sound in his role at left-back. (7/10)

Midfield

Nathan Redmond: Not his best game, but still provided an attacking outlet down the right. He lacked quality when it was needed in the final third and spurned a couple of decent opportunities. (6/10)

Jonny Howson: Was busy all over the park and put in several good challenges, while also working the ball well with Hoolahan. Provided the assist for Jarvis's strike. (7/10)

Alex Tettey: Was combative in the middle of the park and was not afraid to throw his weight around. Won several key challenges for the home side to help them win the battle in the midfield . (7/10)

Matt Jarvis: Had a bright debut for the Canaries as he got on the scoresheet with a sublime finish into the top corner. Always provided the hint of a threat down the left, even if he struggled for quality at times in the final third. (7/10)

Wes Hoolahan: Norwich's creative spark and helped them control the midfield all afternoon. Displayed an excellent bit of skill to beat Cook and then find Jerome in the middle for the opener, while he then found the back of the net himself with a fine drive from the edge of the box. The best player on the pitch this afternoon. (8/10)

Attack

Cameron Jerome: Showed predatory instincts by firing his side ahead by latching on to Hoolahan's cross. Led the line well and always gave his midfield players a target to link with. (7/10)

Substitutes

Graham Dorrans: Helped his side keep control of the middle of the park when he replaced Hoolahan late in the game. (6/10)

Martin Olsson: Could have done more to prevent the cross coming in from the left for Bournemouth's goal after replacing Jarvis. (5/10)

Dieumerci Mbokani: Had one chance to open his account on his debut, but was denied by a good save by Boruc. (6/10)


BOURNEMOUTH

Goal

Artur Boruc: Could do very little to stop any of the three goals that were fired past him over the course of the afternoon. (6/10)

Defence

Simon Francis: Had a decent battle with Jarvis throughout the game and won his fare share of the contests, including one with authority when he bundled the winger off the ball with power. (6/10)

Tommy Elphick: Was caught out at the back at times during the second half when his side were cut open. Should have closed down Hoolahan and then Howson later in the half, which led to Jarvis's strike. (5/10)

Steve Cook: Beaten too easily by Hoolahan for the opener when he charged out of position to confront the midfielder. Like Elphick was caught out by the Republic of Ireland man in the second half, and again by Howson for the third goal. Found the net with a powerful header to net his side a consolation goal. (5/10)

Adam Smith: Was booked in the first half for a needless push on Hoolahan. Wisdom and Redmond appeared to get in behind him with relative ease in the second half, which led to openings for the home side. (5/10)

Midfield

Matt Ritchie: Had a poor game as he was unable to assert control of the midfield and gave the ball cheaply on many occasions in the final third. (4/10)

Eunan O'Kane: Played a few nice passes in the first half, but struggled immensely in the second half as he and his teammates were outbattled in the middle of the park. (5/10)

Andrew Surman: Had a few decent moments, but lacked any cutting edge of his side in the final third. Was anonymous in the second half as the midfield became overrun by the Canaries. (5/10)

Junior Stanislas: Flashed a couple of times in the contest, but was not the threat that Howe needed him to be on the wing in the absence of Max Gradel. (5/10)

Attack

Joshua King: Was a strong presence and linked up well at times with Wilson, but then faded from the match drastically in the second half. (5/10)

Callum Wilson: Bournemouth's best player as he nearly found the net with a flicked effort that hit the post. Was full of running and gave the Norwich backline problems, even though he was starved of service throughout the match. (7/10)

Substitutes

Glenn Murray: Had a limited impact on his debut for the Cherries due to the lack of service for the frontmen over the course of the afternoon. Had one headed effort that went over the bar. (5/10)

Yann Kermorgant: Failed to make an impact in his time on the pitch as the visitors struggled for attacking momentum in the second half. (5/10)

Dan Gosling: Arrived when the game was already lost and could not make an difference in the final 18 minutes of the contest. (5/10)
