Sunderland came from 2-0 down to beat Bournemouth at the Stadium of Light on Saturday

Bournemouth goalscorer Amine Adli has criticised a number of 'very bad' decisions after Sunderland's comeback win at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

Adli opened the scoring for Andoni Iraola's side, with Tyler Adams doubling the advantage shortly afterwards. A controversial penalty given for a foul on Reinildo by Alex Scott allowed Sunderland to work their way back into the contest, with Bertrand Traore and Brian Brobbey completing the comeback after the interval.

Adli said he didn't think Sunderland's first or third goals should have stood, echoing Iraola's criticism.

"After being 2-0 up here in Sunderland, it's never easy to go back without a point at least," he said.

"It's very tough, but what makes us even more angry and frustrated today, is some decisions of the referees. Some decisions were very bad and they completely changed the game.

"The third goal on the corner kick, there is a foul on Adam Smith. There is a lot of even at the start, the penalty, there is two fouls before it. There is a foul on Truffert, there is a foul on Tavernier, and then after this you receive a penalty which is like, for me 50/50. That's already a lot."

Asked if he felt the crowd had played some part in the decisions, Adli said: "I don't know, maybe, but to be honest, when I was on the pitch, sometimes it was looking like the ref was not involved in the game.

"He was not really focused on what was happening. Some decisions were like out of what was going on on the pitch. It was like we were not on the same page. When we were talking to him, he was looking confused. We have to handle it. We are players, it doesn't matter, we have to play with it. Even if the decisions are like this, we have to do better, but today these decisions had a big impact on our game, but still we have to do better."

Adli said Sunderland had played well but did not think his team deserved to be on the losing side.

"When you are 2-0 up, if you manage the game properly, we take three goals properly, and you just go in the locker room and you say, “Okay, guys, we were two-nil up, but we didn't play well after this, and we conceded goals," he said.

"But this is not really the case, so this is what is even more frustrating when you know the first penalty is not a penalty, on the last goal there is no foul, there is a foul on Smith, there is no foul at the start of the action for me on Reinildo. So it's a lot of small details for sure who go on the side of Sunderland and they make them score, because if you look really about open play, open game, we didn't concede goals, so at least a lot of dangerous chances, so this is what is making the situation even more frustrating.

"Sunderland played well, we have to give them this. They played home, it's never easy to play here. We saw a lot of teams struggling here. But, no, we are very good, very strong. We have a lot of qualities. They are also a good team, but today in the open play, in the football, the win is not deserved for me.

"We concede a lot of goals on set-pieces. We need to solve that, it's still part of the game. But I cannot say that Sunderland is a better team than us."
