Bournemouth 3-2 Liverpool: What Iraola said
- Published
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, spoke to BBC Match of the Day after his side's victory against Liverpool: "It is a massive win for us because we were in a difficult situation especially last week in terms of numbers wise and in defensive players.
"We are finding ways to get points against difficult opposition. I am very proud of the team and what we are doing. We are adapting and we are getting good points."
On Liverpool getting a goal just before half-time: "That is when you don't want to concede. We wanted to go into the dressing room 2-0 up. It was a good goal from [Virgil] Van Dijk and we knew we were going to have to push with everything they have done it and we conceded two set plays.
"But from the 2-2 we started playing better and we felt that we didn't have anything to lose."
On if he thought the game wasn't going to be an open game: "No I think the game was Liverpool, Bournemouth and it was going to be open.
"I think it is a win that we needed. We are now in 30 points, we need the points and we need them as soon as possible. We are still in relegation situation so we still have to fight and go for points."
