Eddie Howe Frustrated at Bournemouth Conceding 'Scrappy Goals' During Defeat to Man City

Eddie Howe has admitted he was frustrated by his Bournemouth side conceding 'scrappy' goals as they were beaten 3-1 by Manchester City at the Etihad.

Goals from Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan sealed the Cherries' fate after a spirited first-half display in which they subdued City's attack for large parts. During the second period City started to dominate, but Cherries boss Eddie Howe believes his side were still in the game until it was 3-1 and bemoaned the defensive errors leading to the goals.

He told Sky Sports "We had moments and unfortunately for us the three goals we conceded were out of context with the game and were scrappy.
