'We deserved it': Gary O'Neil praises Bournemouth's character following victory over Liverpool after they responded to late heartbreak against Arsenal

Gary O'Neil hailed Bournemouth’s character after they revived their survival hopes with the perfect response to the devastation they endured at Arsenal.

Bournemouth had not won at home since beating Everton 3-0 on November 12 but Phillip Billing’s first half strike was enough to topple Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp had no arguments with the outcome, as his team were persistently second best.

It was a huge effort from the home side, who had led 2-0 at The Emirates Stadium last weekend but ended up losing 3-2 in the 97th minute.
