BOURNEMOUTH (Reuters) - A quick-fire Jefferson Lerma double helped Bournemouth beat Leeds United 4-1 at home in the Premier League on Sunday, lifting them further away from relegation danger and leaving the visitors a point clear of the drop zone.

Leeds have 30 points to sit 16th -- a point above 18th-placed Leicester City and two above 19th-placed Everton, who play each other on Monday.
