Eddie Howe has reflected on his side's 2-1 win over Burnley at Turf Moor this afternoon.

A late goal from Callum Wilson snatched the three points, after Joshua King had equalised following Chris Wood's opener. 

And in his post-match press conference, Howe reflected on the following points. 

The result…

Today was a great way to finish for us. It was a difficult game and the first half was tough. Burnley made it difficult, but I think the change in the game were the substitutions that were made.

Dan Gosling, Callum Wilson and Jermain Defoe were excellent when they came on, I thought they inspired us to another comeback and another good win. It’s a nice way to end the season.  

The season as a whole…

I think when we play well, we’re difficult to play against, but it’s hard to find the consistency. I think it alluded us at the start of the season, we had a tough beginning and left ourselves a lot to do.

Since Christmas, our form has generally been there so we leave the season with good feeling. We know that we can still do better, but we’re happy with the season.

The feeling that we’re expected to finish in the top half and the fact that we’re not expect to struggle can weigh heavy at times and we haven’t had that until this year. But we came through it and we know what to do if it happens again.

Burnley’s campaign…

Burnley have shown what can be done. They started well at Chelsea and have never looked back since so full credit to them and they deserve all the accolades. We wish them well in the Europa League.

For us, we want to maximise our potential. Whatever level that is, who knows? But, we’ll try and improve year on year.

The summer ahead…

The transfer window is always very delicate. We need to do business, but it’s also easy to make changes and lose our identity.

It’s very much quality and not quantity for us because players can be expensive and we need to be cautious.
