    I think Alex Scott, espeically in the first half really ran the show. I thought Taviner and Kluivert were really good first half as well. Rayan too.

    But when push came to shove the goalkeeper Petrovic and Hill really stood up. I think this was the first time I have really seen Hill play. I thought he was really instrumental alongside Petrovic.

    Bournemouth

    Bournemouth boss Marco Rose, speaking to TNT Sports: "It was very intense and tough. Brilliant first half in everything. The way we won balls and the possession high up. In the second half, we needed to suffer because we were not so sharp. We need to talk about the second half.

    On the intensity: "That's Bournemouth football. We want to be active and defend forward. We want to create chances. We had a header to be 3-0 up. The game is 90 minutes and the first half was really brilliant.

    On losing intensity: "It's not about the games because we didn't play so much so far, we just started. It's about the mindset. We lack a bit of intensity and if you lose this kind of thing in our style, then we know. If you get tired, then we need to change with substitutes.

    "It's a brilliant win in our first European game. It's brilliant for the club and the 2000 fans from Bournemouth."

    It just shows the calibre of the players that Bournemouth have. Four internationals players that have been there, done it, and seen it. So they do not get fazed by these occasions and it showed on the pitch.

    Also the manager as well, has managed in the Europa League before so I think they were probably more comfortable with the situation than the fans and everyone else.

    It is a big occasion. A big moment for the club, and they should be applauded for it. They showed their brilliance in the first half, and they showed they can dig in during the second.

    It was very nerve wracking [being in the studio], let me tell you it's a lot easier playing than it is watching. Like I say, it was just those little bits when Sociedad was getting momentum, getting into Bournemouth's half, creating chances, getting corners and putting on the pressure, but to see everyone stand up, take ownership, put their bodies on the line and see it through was really good.

    The Bournemouth fans are signing their heart out. The rest of the stadium is empty, but the Bournemouth fans are still in here singing their lives away.

    And here's how the flow of the game went.

    Bournemouth only saw 30% of the ball in the second half but had more of a threat.

    I think Bournemouth deserved it. Especially from their first half showing. I would say up to 60 minutes, I thought they were outstanding. Like any team, Sociedad got the crowd behind them [towards the end] and that goal gave them massive momentum, but to see Bournemouth stick together, to fight for their lives and see it out, is such a special moment.

  16. 'A great step forward'published at 22:11 BST 17 September

    FT: Crystal Palace 4-0 Lech Poznan

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace captain Adam Wharton, speaking to TNT Sports: "There's still a lot to work on, still early days, lots of new signings. We are trying to gel as fast as we can. It has been a slow start but tonight was a great step forward.

    "There were still some moments we could be tighter at the back but definitely a step in the right direction.

    "The manager is very attack minded, he wants us to get high up. In training we are working on those patterns and I think there were a few good moments where we played one-touch play and it is good to see that starting to gel.

    "When you are on the front you get the crowd behind you as well and on nights like these getting the crowd behind you helps. It pushed us on.

    "Last year was completely new for a lot of the players. It is a different game to the Premier League, a different intensity. In this it is sometimes a bit more tactical. Coming into this season with the experience from last season is only going to help us."

    On England potential call up: "It would be great to see my name there but I am not focusing on that. It hasn't really been on my mind with us having games every three days now. It would obviously be great for me to be in the squad. At the same time there are more camps throughout the year and we have lots of games coming up."

    Crystal Palace defender Honest Ahanor is the youngest Italian to play 10 times in Europe. The 18-year-old featured in nine Champions League games for Atalanta last season.

    The previous record was held by the great Giuseppe Bergomi in 1982.

    Interesting to see how Bournemouth cope with playing on Thursday and Sunday.

    They've got Liverpool at home on Sunday afternoon and they may have slightly heavier legs.

    What a night. What a performance. Had to dig in second half, the goalkeeper had to be called upon. But from Adam Smith walking the team out to David Brooks coming on in the 84th minute, every player has done their bit. They have worked their socks off and have performed on a European stage and gave Bournemouth their first win.
