Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has heaped praise on midfielder Alex Scott, describing his performances as "amazing" for several months, following the youngster's decisive goal in a dramatic 2-1 victory over Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Scott's late winner capped a memorable away performance, securing a crucial three points for the Cherries. Iraola highlighted that the 20-year-old's impact has been building steadily, not just a flash in the pan from this single match.
"Alex has been amazing for months," Iraola stated. "His work rate, his intelligence on the ball, and now he gets the reward with a huge goal. This is what we see from him every day in training."
The victory marks a significant upset in the title race, with Bournemouth defying the odds against Mikel Arteta's side. Scott, a summer signing, is now cementing his place as a key figure in Iraola's midfield setup, with his manager's comments underscoring a belief in the player's consistent development and growing influence.
