NORWICH City manager Alex Neil delivers his first post-match verdict after today's 2-1 victory at Championship leaders AFC Bournemouth.
Neil left his seat in the stands and made for the touchline after Jonny Howson's dismissal midway through the second half and presided over his first victory in the Carrow Road hotseat.
Matt Ritchie rifled Cherries in front after 18 minutes but Gary Hooper’s controversial strike for City levelled matters before the break.
Howson was given his marching orders for a late lunge on Cherries substitute Yann Kermorgant but Cameron Jerome ensured the visitors had the last laugh with a 20-yard rocket 10 minutes from time.
