Nine minutes between the two goals that settled it
Real Sociedad were still finding their feet. Bournemouth were already two up.
The Cherries won 2-1 in San Sebastian on Wednesday night to open their Europa League campaign, and the damage was done inside twenty minutes. Justin Kluivert struck in the 11th. Rayan added the second in the 20th. Two goals, nine minutes apart, in a ground where the hosts rarely get punished that quickly.
Sergio Gomez pulled one back just before the hour. The Basques threw bodies forward for the last half hour and found nothing.

Opta liked them before kick-off, now there is evidence
The models had Bournemouth near the top of the league-phase pecking order. Predictions are cheap in September. Walking into a Spanish club with genuine European history and walking out with three points is not.
No rest either. Liverpool arrive on the south coast on Sunday.
Juventus put five past a Dutch side that never turned up
Kolo Muani scored in Juventus’ 5-0 win over NEC Nijmegen. Crystal Palace handled Lech Poznan 4-0. Celtic lost 3-1 at home to Ferencvaros, which will sting in Glasgow for a while. Torreense, a Portuguese second-tier club, took something at Lillestrom that nobody had pencilled in. Union Saint-Gilloise went to Plzen and won 3-0.
Marseille were the outlier among the French clubs. They came home from Besiktas beaten 4-1.
