Manager Eddie Howe, speaking after the match on BBC Radio Solent, was quoted as saying: "We scored four really good goals. Disappointed to have conceded two but we are gaining momentum hopefully. Two tough away games, we got four points, we've got to be pleased with that. There's still defensive work to be done. We seemed to have been involved in high-scoring games this season. We like to set out teams up to win games but we want to defend better than we have".
