Bournemouth winger Jaidon Anthony admits mixed emotions after Arsenal defeat

Bournemouth winger Jaidon Anthony admitted mixed emotions after defeat to Arsenal.

The match marked Anthony's Premier League debut.

He said, Really tough. First half we didn't really get near them and with the quality they have they punished us. We will learn from it for sure.

"We changed shape and wanted to get more pressure on them and get around them, it was one of my jobs to press them.

Making his Premier League debut against boyhood club Arsenal, he added: "Special 10 years there [at Arsenal]. It's funny the way the world works, coming on for my debut against Arsenal.

"[The manager] asked me to make an impact because we didn't get near them in the first half. We wanted to change the dynamics of the game.

"I thought we were better in the second half but we didn't create enough chances. Overall, it's a special day for me but a disappointing."
