Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has praised his side's comeback against Bolton Wanderers, claiming that the Cherries 'deserved all three points' from today's Championship clash at the Reebok Stadium that finished 2-2.

First-half goals from Lee Chung-Yong and Lucas Jutkiewicz saw the home side race into a two-goal lead, but Bournemouth pulled a goal back within minutes, courtesy of Lewis Grabban's long-range strike, before Simon Francis's header midway through the second half levelled matters.

Howe told reporters: "I felt we deserved to win and we were disappointed not to get three points. It's mixed emotions really. I felt we passed the ball better than Bolton for the majority of the game and created more chances.

"We felt if we could get the first goal we would have a good chance to win game but we responded well to going behind and got that second goal which was pleasing.

"We took some heavy beatings early in the season and didn't respond but we have learned from those games and once we started to believe how good we could be, we saw a good Bournemouth performance today."

The Cherries currently occupy 15th place in the table.
