Iraola: Bournemouth Must Improve Efficiency Against Big Teams

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola expressed disappointment after his team drew 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur, despite outplaying them for much of the match. Iraola emphasized the need for his players to be more clinical and efficient in front of goal, stating they must capitalize on their performances to secure victories against stronger teams. The match saw Bournemouth leading 2-0 with goals from Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson, but they conceded a penalty that allowed Tottenham to level the score. Iraola noted that while the first goal was a stroke of luck for Spurs, the second was due to a defensive lapse and a cheap penalty conceded by goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. He reiterated the importance of managing games better, especially when they are in a winning position. Ultimately, he stressed that to compete with the top clubs, Bournemouth needs to improve their game management and assertiveness.
