CHERRIES HEARTAKE

NATHAN AKE says Bournemouth are rueing dropping points at Leicester because they are still not safe.

The Cherries were on course to climb to 10th when they led 1-0 in stoppage time.

But Riyad Mahrez’s equaliser left them on 33 points, with Tottenham up next. Defender Ake (right) said: “It’s just so hard because we were so close to almost 40 points.

“Win this game and we have 35 points and create a bit of a gap, whereas now it’s still close.

“To give it away in the last minute like that is stupid and it hurts.”
