Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil believes his side 'were the best team by far' in their 4-3 defeat to Leeds United on Saturday. The Cherries had looked comfortable and in control with the score at 3-1 but collapsed as they conceded three goals in the final half an hour to return home empty handed.
After a rapid start to the match from Leeds through Rodrigo's early penalty, Bournemouth were the better side for much of the first half and deservedly went into the break ahead. Dominic Solanke then doubled their lead shortly after the restart but from there on in, it was all Leeds.
It is the second match in a row that Bournemouth have lost after taking a two-goal lead. However, speaking after the game, O'Neil was critical of his side's defending but insisted they deserved to take home all three points.
