A delighted Eddie Howe was quoted after the match as saying on the 1-0 win as saying: "It is a big scalp. To beat the FA Cup holders at full strength cannot be underestimated. It is a great win even though they were reduced to 10 men. There were some naughty tackles in the game in the build-up to the red card. I thought it was a high challenge and his exuberance took him in a bit quick. I don't think it was malicious but I think it was a red card. He doesn't have a reputation, referees judge the tackles on their merit".
