Ghana international Antoine Semenyo starred in his last game ahead of the international break to send Bournemouth second on the Premier League table.
The forward was involved in all three goals on Friday night as the Cherries came from a goal down to beat Fulham 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium.
Semenyo came into the game with four goals and two assists in his opening six league games.
After a quiet first half, the game all unfolded in the second 45 minutes.
Ryan Sessegnon opened the scoring in the 70th minute after being set up by substitute Samuel Chukwueze.
However, Semenyo levelled the score for Andoni Iraola's side with a great finish from the near post before assisting Justin Kluivert to make it 2-1 in the 84th minute.
In added time, the Ghanaian grabbed his second of the game to wrap up all three points for his side and send them to the second position on the league table, only behind Liverpool.
14 points from their opening seven games also means this is the best start to a Premier League season for the Cherries, who are looking to do better than they did last season.
For Semenyo, his goals and an assist on Friday night mean he has been involved in nine goals in the Premier League this season.
The forward will now turn his attention to helping Ghana wrap up a place at next year's World Cup with the final phase of the qualifiers in sight next week.
