"We played a really good first half and had our chances, we scored one, and we were controlling the game. In the second half, we didn't have the energy to keep these intensity levels, and we had to defend a little bit lower, especially after the Brighton subs, but we were doing well. At the end, it is an incredible goal from Kostoulas."
"It is very harsh, very harsh for us because we were so close to getting the three points. I have seen the goal, and it is very difficult to blame the players. We had [Marcos] Senesi in front of him, but it is a bicycle kick, into the top corner. It's incredible. Looking at the replay, I was trying to see what we could do better, but it is impossible."
Bournemouth took the lead in the 32nd minute after Marcus Tavernier converted a penalty awarded when VAR overturned Amine Adli's initial booking for simulation. Brighton dominated the second half, controlling 73.3% of possession and creating 13 shots to Bournemouth's four, with none of Bournemouth's attempts on target. Substitute Charalampos Kostoulas produced a stunning 91st-minute overhead bicycle kick into the top corner to level the match 1-1. Bournemouth have dropped 18 points from winning positions this season, the most in the Premier League, and have won only one of their last 13 league matches. The result was described as very harsh, while the equaliser was called incredible and impossible to prevent.
