AFC BOURNEMOUTH v STOKE: Howe not happy and Ritchie disappointed

A lacklustre performance and some poor defending from the Cherries saw them fall to a 3-1 defeat to Mark Hughes Stoke City.

Stoke had done their homework but it took a very good goal to send the visitors in front at half-time. Some slack defending put the game beyond the reach of the Cherries though a wonderful Matt Ritchie goal in the 57th minute gave the fans brief hope. Listen to what Eddie Howe and Matt Ritchie had to say after the game.
