Bournemouth boss Iraola happy with 2-goal Tavernier

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola was pleased with Marcus Tavernier after their 3-1 win at Sheffield United.

Tavernier struck twice for the 3-1 win at Bramall Lane.

Iraola told the Daily Echo: “Today also we added Justin (Kluivert) scoring in the league, and Tav scoring two goals.

"I think we have talent there, I think we have goals there, behind Dom (Solanke).

“We were having the chances.

“They were not scoring the goals and I think it is good for them confidence-wise to come here and to score in such an important game."

He also said: “He was playing really well in the last games, but he had some chances he didn't finish, against Burnley and Newcastle.

“But it was a matter of time, because he has the quality.

“It's good he gets the reward, because he is contributing in such different ways to the team.

“I am really happy for him."
