RYAN Christie believes Cherries will learn from their late 3-1 defeat to Chelsea, labelling the result “frustrating”.
The Scot teed up Mati Vina’s sumptuous equaliser to cancel out Conor Gallagher’s opener in an even first-half, before Blues took all three points by showing a clinical edge in the second period, Benoit Badiashile and Joao Felix scoring inside the final 10 minutes.
Speaking to afcb.co.uk, Christie shared: “I thought we were in the game for the most part of it.
“I think first five minutes we started really well, a couple of chances.
“A sloppy goal to concede and then a phenomenal goal from us to equalise.
“Then from that point until we could see in the second half I thought we looked really well, kind of limited them to very few and looked positive going forward.
“Frustrating at the end of the day, especially with the set-piece goal as well, because I think in open play they weren't causing us too many problems.
“We’ll learn from that. We've been on a great run of form.
“A wee bit of a tough one to take but still plenty of positives to take from the game and we'll bounce back against Palace.”
