'This is the first step to being a stronger and better team'

West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui speaking to BBC Sport: "We were very close to winning against a very good team. That is why when you are very close there is frustration to lose these two points. But there are positives against a very demanding team in Bournemouth."

On the impressive first-half performance: "We deserved to score. In the second half we knew they were going to push more and they did. I prefer to be positive and look forward."

On if there is a momentum shift: "We deserved to win at Leicester. In this game we did well too. Above all, I want to highlight the behaviour of the group. All the players want to work very hard to do their best for the team. This is the first step to being a stronger and better team. We are going to keep this positive mentality."
