"They are good at creating chances, so we needed our defence and our goalkeeper to be compact. We were creating chances and we had our own opportunities to bring us level in the match or at least set a closer result. We were also being clinical in the second half.

"This is a match we have lost, but I can't tell my players anything because I think they made an effort and they played the plan we set up. Bournemouth played well and played intensely, they deserved to win.

"We must move on now and try to think about our next challenge on Saturday which is Fulham at home before the Champions League next Tuesday."
