Bournemouth boss Iraola: We must be happy with West Ham point

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola was delighted after their 1-1 draw at West Ham.

Dominik Solanke had the visitors ahead on three minutes, before James Ward-Prowse scored from the spot after Mohammed Kudus won a penalty on the hour.

Iraola said: "I think we have to value the point. It's a difficult stadium to come to. But I think if someone had to win today it was Bournemouth.

"We had the most clear chances. We probably weren't clinical enough to score a second, go 2-0 up and win the game. At the end they scored from the pen and we had to go with just one point.

"We had our moments to score the second one and finish it, but we didn't.

"I think we've played very good the last two games. We've gone to the next round of the FA Cup, OK we get just one point today but we have to value it.

"We were closer to the three points than losing. We have to continue pushing."
