EDDIE Howe delivers his post-match verdict after Cherries controversially get held to a 1-1 draw at Cardiff City.

Harry Arter hit a beauty from 20-plus yards to hand the visitors an early lead and Cherries dominated possession for the rest of the half with Callum Wilson denied a penalty after a tangle with Bruno Ecuele-Manga.

The Bluebirds levelled in the second half through Ecuele-Manga’s bullet header, while Wilson saw a bizarre goal chalked off when home keeper Simon Moore blasted a clearance at the stationary striker’s back.

The ricochet came back off the bar with Wilson netting from the rebound only to see the effort disallowed by referee Lee Mason.
