Comments:

League position: 18th AFC Bournemouth had now lost their first three games of a league season for the first time since 1994-95 in League Division 2. The Cherries had now taken five points for the ten games they had played in the Premier League in the month of August (won one and lost seven). Since they reached the Premier League in 2015-16, only West Ham United (41) have dropped more points from winning positions than AFC Bournemouth (39). AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe said: "We thought we had hung on for a point. We had chances to win it, too. I am disappointed for the players and the supporters. The second-half was bitty, we wanted that to be the case. I am enthused by the performance, which was better than our first two. We started really well, very positively. We created more chances today than in our first two games, but we need to start getting some points quickly."
