Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo said Cherry should shoot in European football after his first minute goal was enough to get Fulham to shoot.
Cherries are on track for the best Premier League season of all time, with a top eight-high spot – just seven points in the top five in seven, six points behind Aston Villa.
As long as league champions Newcastle and FA Cup champions win the league in the top seven, it will be enough to guarantee a position in the Champions League next year with the top five in the Premier League.
“We’ve been polishing and beating the top six teams throughout the season. We’re going through this small phase, losing and painting, and every team has gone through that, but that’s why this win is so important.
“I feel like what we’re doing this year deserves to be in Europe.”
“That won’t happen…you can’t defend it like this. It’s impossible.” ❌

When manager Andoni Iraola won his first victory at home since January, he was impressed by his side.
Evanson was supposed to join Semenyo’s early strike, but the host had to dig and defend Fulham’s second half.
Errara told Sky Sports: “I’m very happy with the show. I think we need this kind of show, defending our box, clearing, blocks, basics, suits.
“It’s so valuable to end up with a clean sheet because usually, when we create opportunities we score, we lack something in recent games defensively, and today we’re very good.

“We know Fulham is very good on the ball. In the first 55-60 minutes we had a very good press, but you always suffer in the end. We had to admit a little bit of this territory, more compact, defend the box, and handle the cross.
“This win is the best moment for us. Next week we have another game against Crystal Palace and like Fulham, they’re doing well, so let’s get back to a good place.
“The rankings have been really close over the past few months, so every result will be key.”
