Andoni Iraola spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Bournemouth's defeat against Chelsea: "I'm really disappointed with the result. I'm very proud of the performance and we had more chances than them. They had more of the ball in a situation where it wasn't dangerous. Their keeper played very well."

"Against this kind of opposition, if you don't take your chances and you miss a penalty, you feel like they will punish you and they did in the end. We can't ask much more of our players. We have to keep in the same way and try to make these final attempts better.

On Evanilson: "I will not value his performance because he has scored. He has had a lot of chances. He created the penalty and he has been very good. He wants to score for sure but I will not focus on this. I am very happy with his performance.

"It's football. We played at home against Newcastle and Cheslea with two very good games and we have one point. We played very well, had more chances, pushed them and you have to punish them and we didn't.
