(Reuters) - BOURNEMOUTH 2 BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION 0Midfielder David Brooks continued his fine run of form with a superb brace to earn Bournemouth a 2-0 home win over 10-man Brighton & Hove Albion in a lively Premier League clash on Saturday. Brooks fired Bournemouth ahead with a rasping shot from 20 metres in the 21st minute and, after Brighton had defender Lewis Dunk sent off in the second half, the 21-year old Welshman sealed the home side's win with a fine looping header. Bournemouth, who celebrated only their second league win in the last eight matches, moved up to eighth on 26 points from 18 games while Brighton stayed 13th after suffering their third successive defeat. "Two great goals from David, both totally different but he showed his quality in both moments," Howe told the BBC. Bournemouth took the lead when Brooks side-stepped his marker and unleashed an unstoppable shot into the bottom left corner of the net with visiting goalkeeper Matt Ryan clutching thin air.
