Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe offered no excuses after their 2-0 defeat at Leicester City.

Wes Morgan and Youri Tielemans struck for the Foxes.

Howe conceded, "We looked leggy and short of our normal sharpness and that definitely showed in the result.

"I don't think we were ourselves and Leicester did play very well. But first and foremost you have to look at yourselves and analyse your own display.

"Leicester did play well but we have fallen short of what we expect, the players looked tired and we are very disappointed with the result.

"The players looked tired, the ones who went away with their international teams.

"I'm not trying to make excuses, Jefferson Lerma travelled across the world and naturally they were tired.

"It's not a new thing for Premier League teams and you have to deal with it, it's a situation we'll want to manage better in the future."
