Bournemouth winger Matt Ritchie has suggested that the Cherries will struggle to win their fair share of decisions against the Premier League's big teams.
Eddie Howe's side were on the receiving end of two controversial decisions in their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool on Monday night, including Christian Benteke's goal being allowed to stand when it should have been ruled out under the new offside law.
When asked if he felt that Bournemouth losing out on the big decisions concerned him, Ritchie told BBC Scotland: "It is not a worry, it's a fact.
"Referees are only human and, when you go away to big stadiums, to give decisions against the top teams is probably a little bit harder.
"It was a tough one to take. It was always going to be tough going away to Anfield. But I think we gave a good account of ourselves and I'm sure, if we keep performing the way did, we should be okay."
Bournemouth have lost both of their Premier League games so far.
