Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe claimed his side reclaimed their 'respectability' following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.
After keeping the reigning Premier League champions at bay for the first half, substitute Riyad Mahrez decided the game with his 55th minute strike; a result that extends the Cherries' winless run to five games.
Despite the defeat - in which the hosts recorded just 18% possession - Howe was pleased with the reaction of his side in response to the 5-1 hammering they suffered against Arsenal in midweek prior to the game at the Vitality Stadium.
