Bournemouth midfielder Billing left frustrated with Chelsea's 2-goal Alonso

Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing was left frustrated after their 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Blues fullback Marcos Alonso struck twice for the visitors.

Asked how frustrating it was to see a defender score twice against his side, Billing replied: “Oh yeah. When I saw Alonso for the second I was like 'ah man'. I couldn't really believe it to be honest.

“He's a goalscoring defender to be fair. He's done it a few times, not only this season but since he came to Chelsea.

“If he had a hat-trick then I wouldn't have accepted that. I would have had a go at someone.

“It's just a tough one to take. The way it bounced back to him, obviously it was a good header but it was just unlucky. We just have to keep going and stay positive."

He added: “I think we've conceded too many sloppy goals, easy goals for the opposition.

“Games like this is where we really have to take the three points.

“We had chances, they had chances and I think at the end we take the one point – but it should have been three."
