Midfielder Lewis Cook is likely to miss his side's next three matches having been sent off for violent conduct.
Marcos Senesi and David Brooks will also be suspended for Bournemouth's next game after they both picked up their fifth yellow cards of the season.
Even manager Andoni Iraola was booked for dissent midway through the second half.
Bournemouth have two home games coming up against Everton and Chelsea and are then away to Manchester United.
Two positive notes for the visitors were the return of playmaker Antoine Semenyo after a game away, while Tyler Adams' strike from 43.3 metres out was the longest ranged Premier League goal of this season.
