Bournemouth boss Iraola blames wind for Luton defeat

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola felt the wind was a factor in defeat at Luton.

The Cherries lost 2-1 with Carlton Morris scoring a 90 minute winner for the Hatters.

Iraola said: “It's hard when you lose at the end.

“I think for first 60, 65 minutes probably we didn't realise until late that the wind was so important.

“And the second half it was very difficult to find the spaces we were finding.

“The first half we couldn't play long.

“We had to lose some territorial advantage, try to play more through the floor.

“We weren't as good.

“No, probably we should have been more ruthless in the first half with the chances we had, because afterwards it was difficult for us."
