Eddie Howe felt his Bournemouth side were unlucky not to come away with a point in their eventual 2-1 loss to Liverpool on Sunday.

The Cherries were beaten at home by the Reds after Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge had both scored late in the first half.

Joshua King pulled one back in injury-time but there were chances to score for the home team, particularly when a few handball calls were missed by referee Mike Jones.

"For the home team, we didn't get near their goal enough, put them under enough pressure," said Howe.

"The second half was a lot better. We grew into the game, ended well with a good goal and could have snatched a point at the end.

"I think there were three (refereeing decisions that went against us) in total and referee (Mike Jones) has made his call.

"They were difficult ones. They were quite tight to the player, but they definitely hit the arm. The last one's probably our best case."
