VIDEO: Callum Wilson scores bicycle kick for Bournemouth

Arguably, the two hottest teams (other than Man City) in the Premier League are two teams who you wouldn’t associate at the top of the table. Bournemouth and Leicster City have been playing highly entertaining soccer and are getting rewarded for that. Leicester was sitting in 2nd place with two wins and a draw and Bournemouth got their first win in a highly entertaining 4-3 win over West Ham.

Today, the two sides met and the fireworks went off at the Vitality Stadium. A very synchronized goal from Bournemouth ended in a terrific bicycle kick goal by the red hot early Golden Boot contender Callum Wilson as he gave the Bournemouth fans a stunning first goal as a top flight team in their own stadium.

These two teams are showing that you don’t need to play highly defensive if you’re a weaker team. Sometimes, attacking with reckless abandon can work just as well.
