Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>By Sports Reporter<\/b> – BOURNEMOUTH manager Scott Parker reserved special praise for Zimbabwe international defender Jordan Zemura after his brace inspired his side to a convincing 3-0 win over Barnsley on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old showed why Bournemouth were so desperate to hold on to his services during the international break after scoring his first goals in professional football as Bournemouth moved up to fourth in the Championship.<\/p>\n

Zemura\u2019s early strike gave the Cherries a great start as the defender fired in at the second attempt after some excellent build-up play down the right.<\/p>\n

Dominic Solanke doubled the lead within a minute of the start of the second half as the former Liverpool forward tapped in from a yard after Brad Collins had fumbled Philip Billing\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n

Zemura got his second with nine minutes left as he broke into the box from 30 yards out and finished low past Collins to seal a memorable victory and earn himself the man of the match accolade.<\/p>\n

Parker, who is hoping to lead Bournemouth back into the Premier League was impressed with the Zimbabwe international\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been excellent since he\u2019s come in and got the shirt,\u201d said Parker. \u201cToday was a fine performance from him and I think we all realise that you guys watching, you can see, that he\u2019s an attack-minded full-back, gets us up the pitch and got lovely a forward drive about him.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefensively, I think he\u2019s improving and done very well again today. He was part of a back four that kept a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very pleased with him as from the minute I first walked in he\u2019s someone that\u2019s shown me he wants the shirt, shown me he wants to improve, work hard, and has earned the right to get his opportunity. Now he\u2019s relishing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the lead-up to the match, the young Zimbabwe full-back revealed that he was targeting three goals in the first half of the season. 90 minutes and two goals later, Parker admitted he was surprised when he read his player\u2019s comments before the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I saw that in the notes,\u201d the Cherries boss chuckled. \u201cI thought it was ambitious but he\u2019s right on track to be fair, so he can keep on going!<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d expect him (to score this season). The way we play and what we ask of our full-backs, I\u2019d expect him to be assisting and scoring but certainly in what I ask of our full-backs, that definitely will be there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
