It was every bit as tough as expected as the game took a similar pattern to our draws against Burnley and Swansea at Wembley - Bournemouth happy to sit deep in a 5-3-2 formation and soak up pressure.
We controlled possession but Bournemouth’s plan worked well in the first half and the visitors came closest when a corner hit Eric Dier just six yards out and flew towards goal only for Hugo Lloris to somehow get down and save on his goal line.
We stepped up in the second half and were boosted when Christian Eriksen scored within two minutes of the restart, a calm finish with his left foot from 16 yards.
