Bournemouth manager Gary O’Neil believes his side ‘were the best team by far’ in their 4-3 defeat to Leeds United on Saturday. The Cherries had looked comfortable and in control with the score at 3-1 but collapsed as they conceded three goals in the final half an hour to return home empty handed.
Gary O Neil said: “Leeds didn’t cause us any problems. Chucked balls in the box, hung a corner to the back post. If you can’t defend that, then you’re going to get punished. So yeah, it boils down to real, real small details and that’s not being good enough in those moments to see them off. It’s a tough one today because we should have been further in front. We were the best team by far. Structurally we created loads and loads of chances and I felt like they were in complete control. Obviously the boy (Greenwood) scores a great goal, but even the build up to that, we don’t defend the box well enough. From that moment, I still felt the boys were in control enough, to defend well enough, but still pose a threat. Obviously, a ball that is hung up to your back post from a corner, if you’re going to concede goals like that, it’s going to be really difficult to get anything from a football match.”
