Leicester 1-1 Bournemouth: Reaction from Eddie Howe and goalkeepr Ryan Allsop

Bournemouth secured their highest top-flight finish with a draw at Leicester on the final day of the 2016-17 Premier League season.

Junior Stanislas put the Cherries ahead after just 59 seconds, smashing in a rebound from Ryan Fraser's shot at the end of Lys Mousset's driving run.

Leicester started poorly but were transformed after the break and Jamie Vardy poked in Islam Slimani's knockdown early in the second half.

Vardy had a goal incorrectly ruled out for offside nine minutes later as he stabbed in after Slimani's blocked shot, while Slimani headed badly wide when found in space by a Riyad Mahrez free-kick with five minutes to play.

The Cherries - who finished 16th in their first Premier League campaign last year - end the season in ninth, while 2015-16 champions Leicester move down to 12th.
