It doesn't get much better than beating Man Utd

My feelings were the same as Eddie Howe's when the players come off the pitch having beaten one of the richest and most acclaimed clubs in the world, you should celebrate! Okay, United are not the team that one European Cups and back-to-back Premier League titles, they are a shadow of those teams. But they are still Man United and you can only beat what is in front of you.
The Minute of silence before the game was perfectly observed.Looking at the league table today, it is Man United that will be feeling that they didn't perform and not the Bournemouth players. The Cherries needed a big win over a so-called top six team and they may have only nicked it 1-0, but the players beat Man United all over the pitch in winning tackles and making it difficult for them to play their game.

Sometimes Bournemouth need to be a bit more in the faces of the opposition. The fact that it was a niggly game that was always simmering perhaps gave AFCB more of an impetuous to get over the winning line. Bournemouth still like to be thought of as underdogs and it gives the team a real sense of desire to get one over the bigger team - the fans feel it - and the players feel it.

What Bournemouth managed to do was to find a bit of quality in the final third which hasn't been happening in the last few games. Bournemouth needed that and now they'll want to carry it on to the next game.
