Gary O\u2019Neil maintained Wolves\u2019 2-1 victory over Bournemouth was no personal revenge tour after his side staged a comeback to take all three points at the Vitality Stadium from the club that sacked him in June.<\/p>\n
The Cherries remain winless in nine Premier League contests this season but got off to a bright start on Saturday after Dominic Solanke fired them to a 1-0 half-time lead.<\/p>\n
It all began to unravel after Matheus Cunha netted a quick equaliser after the restart and the hosts were left to defend for the majority of the second period with 10 men after Lewis Cook was shown red.<\/p>\n
The hosts looked to have clung on for a point until Sasa Kalajdzic fired in a late winner.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Neil said: \u201cIt\u2019s just a really big win for us to win on the road, second time this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fixtures have been very tough for us, I think we\u2019ve had the toughest run of fixtures.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re right up there at the top with the hardest runs, so to have gotten 11 points so far is really good, to win away from home against a good side that will cause teams problems is really good.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s not about me or returning to AFC Bournemouth, just a really good win for a group that are making progress and working extremely hard.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I feel no different to when we beat Manchester City, when we beat Everton. It feels exactly the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have huge respect for everybody at AFC Bournemouth, they gave me an opportunity to manage a Premier League football team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThankfully I managed to go six unbeaten straight away, which got me on a decent run. But there\u2019s nothing in it for me. It\u2019s not that at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Solanke\u2019s strike lifted the spirits of supporters sorely in need of a boost, but the mood soured after Cook\u2019s needless red card, issued following a VAR review that showed him headbutting Hwang Hee-chan to force his team into playing short-handed from the 54th minute.<\/p>\n
To their credit the hosts held on until late, when Cherries keeper Neto\u2019s loose short pass to Philip Billing was intercepted, ultimately allowing Hwang to set up Kalajdzic.<\/p>\n
Despite the worrying run of results, Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola brushed aside speculation he might be running out of rope in the role he\u2019s occupied since O\u2019Neil\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n
Asked if he was concerned about his position, the Spaniard replied: \u201cI\u2019m not. Nobody should be concerned about Andoni Iraola, I\u2019m concerned about AFC Bournemouth winning games.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like this and it has to be like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t talked (to the board), but it\u2019s not a matter of me or my situation. It\u2019s a matter of how can we solve this the best way?\u201d<\/p>\n
