Quotes
“We had to do what we did against Tottenham Hotspur, it was an ugly win in some stages but a win nonetheless," Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo said after his side's win over Brighton.
“It wasn’t us at our best and like I said, it was pretty ugly! The manager said it might go this way – it did and we found a way to win. It’s a really good side to show in our game.
“The mood is perfect, everyone is perfect and enjoying training and buzzing to get involved. You can’t ask for anything more than that and everyone is really happy.”

Bournemouth hammered Newcastle 4-1 in their last meeting in the league, which was on 18 May at St James' Park.
