Bournemouth star's bullish relegation battle 'pressure' warning to Leeds United

Bournemouth star Adam Smith has claimed that the Cherries will use their last-gasp defeat to Arsenal as a "positive" for the rest of the season, after he claimed that the more teams like Leeds United that are in the relegation fight the better.

Leeds sit a point behind Bournemouth and a point ahead of Southampton in 19th place. With just 12 games left in the Premier League season, the relegation battle has rarely been this close as only five points separate the bottom nine teams.

Whites fans would have been mightily relieved when Reiss Nelson's 97th minute winner saw Arsenal beat Bournemouth 3-2 at the Emirates earlier this month. However, the south coast club would follow that performance up with a 1-0 win at home against Liverpool to ramp up the pressure on Javi Gracia's side.
