Bournemouth boss Howe on Spurs defeat: Wilson gave us chance

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe praised Harry Wilson after their 3-2 defeat at Tottenham.

The 22-year-old Wales midfielder, who was surprisingly omitted from the starting XI, signalled his intent with a shot on goal a minute after being brought on.

His trademark free-kick, which flew into the top right corner from 20 yards, ensured that no other Premier League players has scored more goals from outside the penalty area this season.

"Harry Wilson is a goalscorer, and we had other moments during the game," Howe said.

"It is just a shame we were coming back from 3-0 down. In this league if you're not quite where you need to be you can get punished."
