MARCO Rose said Lewis Cook admitted he is 'challenging himself' after missing a penalty and conceding a spot kick in consecutive games.
Cook was adjudged to have fouled Abdoul Ouattara despite the Ipswich man moving his leg into the midfielder, and Jack Clarke converted the spot kick to get the hosts at Portman Road back into the game.
While Bournemouth held out to win 2-1, Rose revealed that Cook admitted he was testing himself at the moment after he struck the post with a spot kick of his own at Sparta Praha on Thursday night.

“Yeah, it's an incident like you said and even Lew said after the game to me that he is challenging himself these days because he missed the penalty in Prague,” Rose told the Daily Echo.
“Today he forced the penalty for the opponent and I think he couldn't see the opponent, but he touched him and then it's, then it's a penalty.
“Nobody really complained, so I think it's a penalty.”
