It is not a good result for us

AFC Bournemouth missed the opportunity to overtake the master Manchester City to fifth place when they were recorded on a 1-1 draw by West Ham United on Monday evening.

The cherries had to hit West Ham by three clear goals to overtake Pep Guardiola's side, but had to rely on a brilliant 90th minute free kick from the replacement Enes Unal to save one point only three minutes after West Ham had taken the lead through the punishment of Lucas Paqueta.

“I don't think it's a good result for us, even if we scored the gate at the end” Sky Sport. “We were better in the second half. I didn't like in the first half. We urged ourselves to win and then the penalty happened and we had to take the point. I don't think it was a good point for us.

“The game was very slow for us in the first half. We were not brave enough to put them under real pressure. We improved in the second half, but it wasn't enough to win it.”

Breathtaking compensation

Andoni added to the quality of the spectacular equalizer by Unal: “It had a good effect. Enes [Unal] scored an astonishing goal. But it's just one point. “

Goal scorer Unal, who also scored a late goal in Bournemouth's last game, a 2-1 win in Ipswich Town, was understandably enthusiastic about his breathtaking strike.

“I just checked the distance [of free-kick]And it was my distance, it was perfect, “he said.

“I'll watch [replays of my goal] secure!”

For the head coach of West Ham, Julen Lopetegui, the result was another positive supporter on Monday when they were followed against Wolverhampton Wanderers against Wolverhampton Wanderers last week. The hammers are now seven points before the relegation zone.

“We were won shortly before a very good team,” said Lopetegui. “That is why they are very close that there is frustration to lose these two points. But there are positive aspects against a very demanding team in Bournemouth.

“We deserve to score a goal. In the second half we knew that they would press more, and they did it. I prefer to be positive and look forward to it.”

“I would like to highlight the behavior of the group. All players want to work very hard to do their best for the team. This is the first step to be strong and a better team. We will keep this positive mentality.”
