Bournemouth Head Coach Andoni Iraola Frustrated After Late Equaliser in 2-2 Draw with Brentford
Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola was left frustrated after his side conceded a late equaliser in their 2-2 draw with Brentford. The result leaves Bournemouth without a win in their opening two games of the season.
Iraola was disappointed with the result, saying: “We are frustrated because we had the game in our hands and we couldn’t finish it.”
The match began with Bournemouth taking the lead through a penalty from Arnaut Danjuma. Brentford equalised through Said Benrahma, before Danjuma scored his second of the game to put Bournemouth back in front. However, Brentford’s Ivan Toney scored an equaliser in the 90th minute to ensure the game finished level.
Despite the late equaliser, Iraola was pleased with his side’s performance, saying: “We had a good performance, we created chances and we were in control of the game. We have to be proud of the performance and now we have to keep going and keep improving.”
The draw means that Bournemouth have now gone three games without a win, having also drawn their opening game of the season against Blackburn Rovers. Iraola is confident that his side can turn things around and start picking up points soon.
He said: “We have to stay positive and keep working hard. We have to keep believing in ourselves and keep trying to get better every day. We have to keep going and keep improving.”
Bournemouth will be hoping to get their first win of the season when they face Reading on Saturday 5 September. Fans can watch highlights of Saturday’s Premier League action on Match Of The Day on Saturday 2 September at 22:30 BST on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website & app.
