Bournemouth boss O’Neill ‘pleased’ with players in Man Utd defeat

Bournemouth boss Gary O’Neill was happy with his players after defeat to Manchester United.

Casemiro struck the only goal of the game at Dean Court.

O’Neil told the Daily Echo: “I was pleased.

“I thought it was a good performance against obviously a very good Man United side, who are still pushing hard, desperate for points for the top four and have a cup final still at the end of the season, so they are full throttle at the moment.

“We were obviously under-strength, five key players missing, a little bit short today.

“So in comparison to Crystal Palace, light years apart. I thought it was a very competitive game.

“I didn’t think there was much in it. I thought our chances were probably equally as good as theirs.

“They managed to take one, we didn’t. It ends up 1-0, but I don’t think anyone could’ve complained if Kieffer Moore would’ve taken his chance at the end and the game finishes 1-1, I think it would’ve been a fair score-line.

“I’m proud of the players again, because it’s not easy once you’ve reached the top of the mountain like we did, to then have to go again and suffer against a good side without the ball sometimes, dig in, defend your goal and then show quality with the ball.

“I thought it was a good performance.”
