Bournemouth captain Steve Cook laid it all on the line last night as his side visited Craven Cottage to take on Fulham.
Scott Parker, returning to his former hunting ground, knew that his side would go to the top of the Championship with a win.
Bournemouth led for the bulk of the second half before Tosin Adarabioyo found the back of the net to split the points.
The Cherries have skipper Steve Cook to thank for the point they earned, though, with the defender having put his body on the line to prevent Fulham from having TWO shots at goal.

Cook blocked the initial effort with his chest before diving in front of the second. Considering the distance to goal, it’s safe to say that his intervention saved Bournemouth here.
