Daniels opened the scoring in the 5th minute with Cook (41), Junior Stanislas (45 pen, 65), Callum Wilson (83) and Dan Gosling (88) completed the scoring.
Ryan Mason had equalised for the Tigers in the 34th minute, that was as good as it got for Hull, conceding five goals after that.
Bournemouth In Excellent Form

Prior to the fixture against Hull Bournemouth had been goal shy, scoring just six goals in their opening seven games.
The Cherries have won three games this season, with two of those coming in the last three matches.
Wins against West Brom, Everton and now Hull City have seen them kick start their season, after a difficult start to the season.

Former Spurs player Nacer Chadli opened the scoring late on (82), with Tottenham's Dele Alli equalising in the 89th minute to rescue a point for Spurs.
Given the fantastic result against Manchester City they will be disappointed about following that up with a draw, their record against West Brom at the Hawthorns isn't fantastic.
Tottenham Seek Momentum
Tottenham will have targeted a win against Bournemouth as a minimum requirement, these are the types of games that they will need to win.

The early signs are very good for Tottenham, they have won 5 of their opening 8 games but the draws are holding them back compared to City and Arsenal.
