Bournemouth boss Iraola: Spurs finishing superior

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits Tottenham's superior finishing made the difference in Sunday's defeat.

The Cherries succumbed 3-1 in London on the day.

Iraola told the Daily Echo: “(The scoreline) is what counts - you have to score goals.

“And they were much better than us in the last third, finishing wise.

“I'm really happy with the performance. I think we played with really strong personality against top opposition.

“We had our chances. We had a lot of the ball around the box.

“We played a lot in their half, but it wasn't good enough, especially last third to score the (equaliser) and put them under pressure."
