​Bournemouth boss Howe furious with Doucoure tackle

Eddie Howe was not happy with Abdoulaye Doucoure after his side faced off against Watford in the Premier League.

Bournemouth and the Hornets played out an entertaining 3-3 draw yesterday.

But Howe was incensed with a tackle from Doucoure on Ryan Fraser.

The incident happened in the first half, but the Frenchman had escaped with no card, despite the high and reckless nature of the challenge.

When asked about the incident by the Daily Echo, Howe said: "It was a straight red card in my opinion. Ryan was very fortunate not to have picked up a serious injury.

"It was a very dangerous tackle and I don't think anyone wants to see those type of tackles in any league."
