Alexander Isak's second-half goal was the difference at the Vitality Stadium as the Reds kept their third successive Premier League clean sheet for the first time since the opening three games of the 2024/25 term under Arne Slot.

Jacquet was given the official player of the match award by broadcasters Sky Sports and the performance came in the same week the 21-year-old was handed a first senior call-up by France.

"I think the more time - especially the defenders - they play together I think it becomes more solid as a unit in the defensive line," Iraola said.
