ANDONI Iraola was pleased with Mark Travers’ performance against Chelsea.
The Irish stopper came into the AFC Bournemouth starting-11 on Saturday as Chelsea-loanee Kepa Arrizabalaga was ineligible to play against his parent club.
The Cherries boss told the Daily Echo that he thought Travers was very good, despite not being as busy as he may have thought he would be before the game.
Iraola said: “Probably he didn't have the job he expected against Chelsea, because when you play against Chelsea, you expect, I remember past season, I think 0-0 here, they had many more chances against us, many more.
“Today, I think he was good.
“His delivery, distribution was good, the [Chelsea] goal, he cannot do anything and I think he played well.”
