Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil was delighted after their 1-0 win at Leicester City.

Philip Billing struck the winner at King Power stadium.

O'Neil said, "I am relieved. It didn't need to be as close or stressful as it was. It was similar to Brighton, we should have been more clinical. We showed we could play some good stuff and we showed a different side and dug in later on because we hadn't taken our chances. It was a big clean sheet for us.

"Philip [Billing] showed some calmness. It was a big chance but he still has to finish it. He had a big impact on the game. He is a great player. He's had a really good season for us. I'll try and keep pushing him.

"It is a big win. Every win in the Premier League is big for us. We've won four recently and that is massive. They are not easy to come by. We need to keep grinding away and find a way to keep winning enough.

"First half was a really good version of us. We needed to be more clinical but they showed me today they can play decent stuff and put their bodies on the line and dig in when they need to.

"It can change so we won't get carried away. We'll enjoy today for a few hours and then think about Tottenham."
