Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “We are very frustrated, very angry. To concede in the 96th moment, I think it’s a clear offside. [Joel] Piroe affects the keeper, he’s at the side where the ball goes in. It’s not acceptable. I am waiting to talk to the referee. I hope he explains it to me, but we’ve lost two points in the last second of the game with a player offside affecting our keeper.

"He hasn't had the chance to go and dive or to see the position, the trajectory of the ball. It has affected [Djordje] Petrovic and in the same way it's offside for Evanilson, he's one millimetre, but we have to accept it. This is the same. It affects Petrovic.

"It takes two points that are decisive in this moment in the season."

On the overall performance: “I think we were better than Leeds, but it’s the result that matters.

"When we almost celebrated 3-1, it's one millimetre, but I think the last one is the one we cannot accept."

On giving Marco Rose a strong foundation and potentially European football next season: “We will see. But today has been a big disappointment not finishing with three points, but obviously we will try and finish as high as we can.”
