Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has backed record signing Jefferson Lerma to rectify his alarming disciplinary record.

“I thought it was a good challenge at the time. Replays may tell me different,” added Howe.

Referee Roger East awarded three penalties during a contentious contest at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth forward Joshua King, who opened the scoring from 12 yards, missed a late spot-kick, minutes after Wolves striker Raul Jimenez had converted to level.

Despite both of Bournemouth’s penalty awards being debatable, Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo refused to criticise East and quickly turned his attention to the midweek trip to bottom club Huddersfield.

“We lost the composure and the momentum of the game, so something that we have to work on,” said the Portuguese.

“We have to recover well, Tuesday we go again.

“We cannot lose our focus, every day is important in our work.”
