Carlisle 3-1 Bournemouth

Carlisle kept their play-off hopes alive against Bournemouth as they picked up their fourth straight win.

Danny Graham fired home a third-minute penalty after Stephen Purches had needlessly fouled Johann Smith.

Carlisle were further rewarded in the 29th minute when Jeff Smith's free-kick was headed home by Danny Livesey.

Bournemouth's Sam Vokes pulled a goal back when he slid home a rebound but Neale McDermott sealed the win by steering home Graham's neat pass.
