Eddie Howe: 'Bournemouth indebted to Asmir Begovic'

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has said that his side are "indebted" to goalkeeper Asmir Begovic for his performance in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.

The Bosnian stopper pulled off a string of important saves with the scoreline at 2-1 before Joshua King netted a late equaliser for the Cherries.

"[There's] never a dull moment. It's not good for my health but I'm sure it's the same for the supporters as well; edge-of-your-seat stuff," BBC Sport quotes Howe as saying.

"We're indebted to our goalkeeper. We waited for that chance at the end and thankfully it came to Josh.

"It's not the three points that we wanted but we stopped Palace winning. It's another point closer to where we want to be. Two defeats in 14 at this level is incredible."

The draw sees Bournemouth slip down one place in the league table to 11th.
