Their first away loss since November.
The first time we've won 4 in a row (all comps) since 2017.
Hurzeler - Genius!

One of the best opponents we've faced this season.
No idea how we got 6 points off them.

Really good side. They've invested well but a lot of it is clearly down to the coaching, would not be surprised to see Iraola at Real Madrid next season.

strong and stable with me, or...
Managed momentum well in both games. Tonight we seemed to make the right calls when to put the pressure on and when to sit and absorb pressure. Very good game but think even a neutral would say we edged it.

Not a chance he can get Madrid players to run that much

Dangerous Idiot
I was going to say Spurs, not sure about RM.
They've scored at least two in each of their last seven away games.
Not quite sure how they didn't continue that run tonight! Good team, I like their approach.

They looked very good. That Spanish Dutch Dean guy is insanely good.

Bournemouth are not a club to be judged by stadium size or crowds. The Premier League doesn't work on that, although it is an advantage.
If a club is wise, there is not much difference between a £20m player and a £50m player. Albion have also proved this. And thus the gap is bridged. If they had won tonight it would not have been undeserved. They are very well managed.
Albion and Bournemouth, you know 'teams like', are the eternal thorn in the side of the entitled. So for that reason I would LOVE to see them in Europe- although at the expense of 'teams like' Tottenham and Manchester United. Not us, obviously.

Fab gets us to an FA semi final and into the Europa next season and we will be clinging on with all our might to him!!!

Because we're quite good too...
Very even and exciting game, the kind you like to watch, albeit half the game on your feet, half the game hiding behind your hands!

Was a great game of football. They overloaded our right side really really well and were athletic and strong. There left back is an outstanding footballer. Needed a really disciplined display and we got it. Hard earnt 3 points

Weirdly, we destroyed them on xG.
They seemed like they threatened us a lot but they didn't have a lot of huge chances, just a lot of the ball and quick players.
He's second favourite for the job after Alonso, but yeah, as mentioned, not sure he would be the best fit for their squad!
