Match report

Time to sign off; here’s Louise Taylor’s pitchside report. Thanks for joining me, and for all your great utility player suggestions. Bye!

Eddie Howe’s reaction: “Desperately disappointed, devastated not to win. I think the free kick changed the game … we had chances, that elusive third goal wasn’t there today. There’s a positive feeling about how we played today, tactically and physically. I think we’ve seen an uptick in performances, but I’m disappointed with the results.”

On the non-penalty: “It was a clear penalty, [Chalobah] has gone in to Anthony aggressively. That’s a free kick anywhere else on the pitch.”
