Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott says the side’s displays in consecutive defeats – first by Manchester City and then 4-0 at Aston Villa – are “concerning”.

Sunday’s result left the Cherries ninth in the table going into the third international break of the season.

Speaking after the game, Scott told BBC Radio Solent: “It was a tough game. They’re a top team and we knew it was going to be difficult.

“It’s two weeks in a row we haven’t been good enough, which is concerning, but we have the international break to get things right and a big game against West Ham when we get back.

“The first half was terrible from us. There were a lot of fouls and stoppages, and a few chances early on that if we take, it’s a whole different game.

“They took their chances. We were stronger second half, and if the penalty goes in then it’s a different last 30 minutes to the game.”
