Eddie Howe: 'We deserved point'

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has said that his side deserved to take a point at Nottingham Forest after seeing Marc Pugh score an injury-time equaliser.

Forest led for most of the match after Henri Lansbury scored in the first half, but Pugh scored in the 91st minute to secure a valuable point away from home and Howe believes it was the very least they deserved.

"I felt we deserved it. The lads put in a really good second half performance and dominated the game," he told BBC Radio Solent.

"Whenever you're chasing a goal, you can leave yourself vulnerable at back but we defended well.

"We did a lot of things right and if we had been beaten it would have been hugely disappointing, so it was a big goal for us."

The point leaves Bournemouth in ninth position in the Championship, five points off the play-off places.
