Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits he cannot explain Monday night's amazing 4-4 draw at Manchester United.

In an amazing, see-sawing game, the Cherries found a late equaliser through Eli Junior Kroupi to earn another impressive result at Old Trafford.

Iraola stated afterwards: "Difficult to explain. I suppose for the neutrals it's been a nice game. It had everything. Moments where you think it's a loss. Moments where you think we have this one, we are comfortable.

"Even at the end, at the last minute two clear chances, and I was thinking maybe win this one. It's just a point, it's not a lot in the standings, but I think we can take good and bad things from today.

"We are two teams that play quite aggressively, quite open and probably today we attacked much better than we defended. I think the second goal is a cheap goal, it's a cheap one for us to concede. The corner is not even a great header.

"I think we finished really well the first half. When we scored the 1-1, and we were feeling comfortable and we were finishing the half much better. That's why the goal we conceded just from the corner has hurt me because we were in a good moment.

"You didn't even know if we were happy finishing the game or give us one minute more."
