AFC Bournemouth vs Aston Villa highlights (2-1)

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe: "The red card changed everything, we felt a little bit bit hard done by on that decision - Jeff [Jefferson Lerma] was incredibly unlucky as there were other challenges in the game that didn't get punished with a yellow card which were worse than that.

"At a time when we were in a good place in the game, looking to go 3-0 up, suddenly the game swings on that moment and I didn't think it was justified. With that feeling, with the way the game had gone and the run of form we'd been on, it was hugely important we got over the line and won that game. We don't know whether it will define our season, but it feels like a big moment now."

On Ryan Fraser (the winger apologised to team-mates this week for letting his performances be affected by links with Arsenal last summer): "I asked pre-game that they [the supporters] support him and back him, as he's an incredible talent, and he's a great lad.

"He wants to play well for the team and the club - they were brilliant with him today and he was very good in return, in terms of his defensive performance - especially with 10 men he was excellent and he showed how important he is for us. "
