Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil felt finishing was the difference in defeat to Chelsea.

The Cherries lost 3-1 at home on Saturday.

O'Neil said: I thought that was the only difference. I thought it was an even contest.

There were lots of bits in it that I liked.

When we were on top, sort of midway through the second half, we had a flurry of corners. Mati Vina has a one-on-one with Kepa, who makes a good save.

Kepa makes a great block from Dango as well, from four or five yards out and then obviously the massive chance with Dango's free header, four yards out from goal.

I think if we get our noses in front, the game will probably finish very differently. But disappointed that we weren't clinical enough and Chelsea make a couple of mistakes to give us a chance and we don't take it.

Then we get punished at the other end as soon as we make one.

I don't think Neto had a lot to do and then we make a mistake and they managed to punish us and it goes 2-1, and then obviously it's in their favour then.

But we were well in the game. Just really disappointed that we don't take anything."
