Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth: What Rose said

Bournemouth manager Marco Rose, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It is what it is. We started really well. We played a top first half. Our pressing was impressive. The opponents had no solutions. We scored two goals and had more chances. Then we conceded in pretty much with the first chance for the opponents. "In the second half, we dropped a bit in everything. Even we didn't get real trouble in our box but we conceded again a late goal. This is disappointing but I'm really happy with the confidence the lads came here today to take the three points. At the end, we have to work on the things we need to improve. And that's what we will do in the coming days. "We knew that it's going to be intense against Newcastle . We defended Anthony Elanga really well. We did all that but in the end, if you are 2-0 up and you have the chance to score a third goal, you should do it or you have to defend your goal better than we did." On conceding late again: "I try my best. Even the lads. It's not with intention to do it. Sometimes you have phases where things like these happen. We should go for our first win the Premier League to calm down this kind of talks. "Regarding the points, I am not happy. We just have two now. It's about results in this level. But performance wise, I see a lot of good things." Did you know? Since the start of last season, Bournemouth have dropped the joint-most points from winning positions in the Premier League (29 – level with Newcastle), and the outright most by any team in away matches (18). Bournemouth are the first team in Premier League history to score the opening goal in their first three games of a season and fail to win any of them (D2 L1).
