Bournemouth midfielder Christie: A positive season

Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Christie was pleased with his team's showing this season.

The Cherries finished 12th in the Premier League, losing 2-1 to Chelsea on the final day.

However, they were only a point off vying for a top ten finish, which Christie believes was well within their grasp.

He told Premier League Productions: "I thought we played well. It was an open game and it didn't suit anyone in that heat. A draw would have suited everyone in the end but we got caught on the counter.

"My eyes lit up, I was planning my celebration and the slide tackle came out of nowhere. It wasn't to be in the end and we'll all go on our holidays now.

"It's a positive one. We could have finished top 10 so that's frustrating but it gives us something to focus on. We've had plenty of time under him [Andoni Iraola] now and pre-season will come around quick."
