Huijsen 'has shown from the beginning that he can do this' - Iraola

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola after the 1-0 win over Tottenham: "It is a very good win. I especially liked the second-half.

"First half we were disciplined in defence and not conceding chances, but also not as much of a threat as we were in the second. We had many chances but luckily we finished the job."

On Dean Huijsen's performance: "I think he has shown from the beginning that he can do this. He plays with confidence and even though he is 19-years-old he has played a few games. But now with the injury to Marcos [Senesi], he for sure will have to play more.

"It is not always easy to play as a defender in the Premier League, but I hope the young players can grow together and continue their development. The good thing for them is that they have room to improve."

More on Senesi's injury: "It is a massive injury. We weren't sure if it was just a knock or big knock but we know now is a massive injury. It's quite significant so he will probably be out for some time."
