Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe felt defeat at Burnley was self-inflicted.

The Cherries were thrashed 4-0 on Saturday.

Howe lamented: "It was a strange game.

"If you look at it, we had some good ball today, we threatened to create great chances but we didn't execute the final pass well at all today.

"We made bad decisions in the final third and I don't think they had too many chances. The stats could tell me different but that's my gut feel in the immediate aftermath.

"The third goal was all important and we shot ourselves in the foot with the two first-half goals - it's a tough ask to come back from 2-0 down in any game."
