Andoni Iraola lauds 'a great result' in Bournemouth's fourth round FA Cup victory at Everton
AFC Bournemouth have advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup after defeating Everton 2-0 at Goodison Park on Saturday.
The Cherries eased to the victory thanks to a productive first half that saw goals from Antoine Semenyo and Daniel Jebbison. And though the Toffees looked to mount a comeback in the final 45 minutes, the visiting side withstood the efforts and held on to the clean sheet.
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola was pleased with his side's performance and hopes the club can advance further in the competition than they did last season.
"A great result for us," Iraola told BBC Sport. "Two different halves. First half we were better. Second half they pushed us more and we were defending more. Also we played the worst kind of football but we defended well.
"[Last year in the fifth round] we played against Leicester - they scored an amazing goal in extra time - and we couldn't play the quarter-finals. Let's see if we can go one step more. Playing in an FA Cup quarter-final would sound nice."
But while Iraola is eager to lead the Cherries to a better finish than the previous campaign, he's not interested in looking any further than that.
"It's still too early [to think about winning it all]," he said. "There will still be 15 other teams. Let's see what the draw says."
