WOLVES boss Gary O’Neil had no arguments over the three penalties awarded to his former side AFC Bournemouth.
The first came in the first attack of the game, as the Brazilian was brought down by Toti, before Wolves keeper Jose Sa kicked through the forward as he poked the ball away from him for the second.
The third came in the second half, as Evanilson latched onto a back pass and got to it before Sa, with the keeper taking him out.

Speaking to BBC Match of the Day after the game, O’Neil said each of the spot kicks were ‘crazy’ to give away and that he was ‘incredibly disappointed’ at the ‘self-inflicted’ defeat.
“Bournemouth ask you certain questions and unfortunately we didn't find enough answers,” O’Neil said. “Their first goal was from a channel ball, which we worked on for ages, and we didn't deal with it.
“Crazy, crazy penalties to give away. We have to write those off because you can't win games if you concede goals like that. Any error as big as those, at this level, is going to be tough to bounce back from.
“We have given ourselves a mountain to climb, which we haven't done in the last four games.
“We were well-prepped and knew exactly what would happen. Two back passes - crazy back passes. There was no need to play it back at that point, we could have played it forward.
“The [penalty] decisions looked pretty conclusive live.”
