Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has praised his goalkeeper and captain Neto.

The Brazilian's form has come into question among fans and pundits over the past few weeks.

Neto, who made a mistake in the 2-2 draw against Brentford earlier this season, was not impressive against Everton either.

Speaking after the 3-0 loss to the Toffees, Iraola told the Daily Echo: Neto is the captain, he is the one especially giving a very young back-line these kind of instructions, communication and confidence.

I think he is doing well. I don't think probably he could do more. The second goal you think? I don't know, I haven't rechecked it, but it is a very good goal from Jack Harrison also.

I think the key was the 1-0, because it takes a lot of things from you and it gives them a lot of things. With the way it happened, we weren't the same (after) playing from the back."
