Bournemouth caretaker O'Neil: Moore so big for us

Bournemouth caretaker boss Gary O'Neil has sung the praises of Keiffer Moore.

Wales international Moore made a rare start for Bournemouth against Tottenham and was the man responsible for lifting the Vitality Stadium with two goals before Spurs' comeback.

"Moore is big for us," O'Neil told BBC Radio Solent ahead of Saturday's trip to Leeds. "I remember speaking to him way back, Wolves game or just after, around how big he was for me and the group. That's always been case. Think we need to just try and use the strengths we have in squad at the right times.

On Jordan Zemura and Jaidon Anthony, he added: "They've done great. Still playing huge part for us from bench in the XI. Sometimes they haven't got on and have still trained well, just that they weren't part of any first team plans 18 months ago.

"Now they have ben thrust in and played huge part in promotion and now. We speak a lot about how important everyone in the squad is. Jordan and Jayden are part of that. Zermura played at the weekend and was a big part in going 2-0 up."
