Bournemouth fullback Smith: Liverpool players said penalty was harsh

Bournemouth fullback Adam Smith was delighted after their shock win against Liverpool.

The Cherries won 1-0 thanks to Philip Billing's strike as Mohamed Salah missed a penalty conceded by Smith.

He said, “Even some of the Liverpool lads said it was a bit harsh. I'm jumping, I can't see the ball and I'm not sure how I'm meant to stop that? I think my arms were down so maybe a little bit of justice in the end that they missed it."

On being out of the relegation zone, he added: “It sounds nice.

"It's been a struggle the past few games even though we've put in some good performances. Credit to the lads, we come in every week, work hard and today it's paid off. Hopefully we can keep it going and get three points against Aston Villa next week."
