Bruno Fernandes twice brought his side level after they fell behind at the Vitality stadium over the weekend, but the manager admitted the team as a whole didn't do enough to be able to secure a win.

He told Sky Sports after the game: "We are into the final stage of the season and this is not enough. But the truth is today, we didn't deserve more.

"In the end, if you allow them so many chances in the first half, as a team you don't deserve more. You have to take control, don't give chances and score goals for yourself.

"It's up to them... In this moment, with all the problems we have, we played to our levels and did very good to our levels.

"But you have to do it throughout the game, right until stoppage-time, and the last four games we dropped points from winning positions. Today, we were in losing positions and fought back.

"But coming into losing positions is totally unnecessary. We lost the ball three times in the areas where we should not lose those balls. They [United's players] were not always well-organised, especially on the right side where there came some gaps for the opposition to benefit from it. We should have done this better."

Ten Hag admitted there were "individual mistakes" that cost his team the game and called for his side to be more disciplined.

He added: "Second half, we took more responsibility and we closed that side... [There were] individual mistakes, we have players who can do better with the ball. On the right side, go with your opponent, that is your job, close it.

"It's a small part in it, it's about collaboration, but the main part is discipline."
