Bournemouth boss Howe happy Southampton staying up

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is happy south coast rivals are staying up.

Saturday's 3-3 draw saw Saints safe for another season.

Howe remarked: "We had to dig deep and we made an early tactical switch as we found it difficult to control the ball.

"The change enabled us to do that and we were excellent until half time, there was a constant ebb and flow with each team taking the momentum.

"It wasn't one for the defensive coaches to take too much from, but both teams really went for it. Both manager had to constantly reshuffle their tactics and from that perspective, it was an interesting one to be involved in.

"It's great that both clubs are still in the Premier League."
