29 shots, one goal - Cherries need to be more clinical
- Published
Bournemouth are an excellent team but struggle to turn their superiority into goals.
Even in victory over Tottenham in their previous home game, the feeling was the margin of the win should have been greater than a single goal.
On this occasion, 29 shots still were not enough for all three points.
Although they hit the post early through Antoine Semenyo, it was the end of the opening period when Bournemouth should have capitalised, only for Lukasz Fabianski to deny Dango Ouattara at the far post.
Fabianski getting in the way became a recurring theme for Bournemouth in the second half.
Justin Kluivert, Semenyo, Ryan Christie and Evanilson were all denied by the veteran former Poland international.
Arguably, his best effort was his last as Philip Billing, then Christie, forced him into excellent reaction saves.
