Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake admits he's learned not to take his work home with him.

The turning point came after a last-gasp defeat to Manchester City last season.

“I had a bad game and I always expect a lot of myself," he told the Mirror. “When I got home my missus was there, and her family, and I hardly spoke.

“I didn't want to go out of the house the whole week because I didn't want to be seen! I just stayed in the house and did nothing.

“After that – this year, especially – I told myself I had to change. You can't live like that. The manager told me: 'If you dwell on it too much, you'll keep it in you, and maybe do it again.

“As a kid, losing or playing badly used to tear me up. It stayed in me for weeks.

“Obviously, you still have the hunger to win games. But its better just to analyze what went wrong calmly, than being angry the whole time."
