Beating Arsenal ‘unforgettable’
Andoni Iraola has insisted he will not forget Bournemouth’s win over Arsenal any time soon.
He said: “It’s definitely something that you will not forget because to win in this kind of stadium is not easy.
“I think this is the second game they lose all the season in the Premier League here, so it’s very difficult.
“You don’t get a lot of chances against Arsenal.
“Normally, you can see the numbers of everything, the goals conceded, the chances conceded, it’s difficult.
“That’s why the two, three chances you have, I was regretting the two for Evanilson, the header, the one he tries to chip Raya, he had I think Justin quite open and I was thinking it’s difficult to get another this kind of two, three chances so clear.”
