(Reuters) - - Ryan Fraser scored twice as Bournemouth stunned Leicester City with a 4-2 victory at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

Fraser produced a beautiful curling shot in the 19th minute to put Eddie Howe's side ahead and then doubled the advantage 18 minute later with a left-foot drive.

Josh King then made it 3-0 with a 41st-minute penalty after Ricardo Pereira was ruled to have handled in the box.

The visitors enjoyed a late flurry with James Maddison's 88th minute penalty and Marc Albrighton's header a minute later.
