On Saturday usual stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga was a shock absentee after sustaining a muscle issue in training. So stand-in keeper Travers was given his second start of the season, and his 20th overall in the Premier League, and impressed with a number of crucial saves. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Boss Iraola later told BBC Match of the Day that Travers kept the visitors in the game. He was Bournemouth's key performer, along with second-half substitute Evanilson who only touched the ball nine times but still managed to make an all-important impact. Travers made seven saves in all, including fine stops in each half to to repel thunderous efforts from Villa centre-backs Ezri Konsa and Pau Torres. Should Kepa be out for an extended period, Bournemouth fans will and can be confident with the 25-year-old. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1RMZNl_0wNPqKn100" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1RMZNl_0wNPqKn100" width="1826" height="317" ><figcaption>[Credit: BBC] </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate></div></body>
