AFC Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola speaking to BBC Radio Solent after the penalty shootout defeat by Newcastle: “This is the FA Cup. I’m very proud of being part of this game because, it is true we are out of the competition, but I don’t think we can ask much more of the players. I think we gave everything.
“Even in the shootout, we were for a moment in front, but it was not meant to be.
“The team that finished the game, we probably didn’t have a lot of [penalty] specialists. After the first two or three penalties, it was a matter of choosing between players that have probably never taken a penalty, or very few times. You never know how they will react.”
