"We've set ourselves high standards. So has the manager and we've been on a good run recently, so we really felt we could have got something from today," Surman told the club's website.
"As I said, this month has been great for us and we've set ourselves really high standards, so we'll still be full of confidence heading into the Leicester game."
Manager Eddie Howe said his side's defeat was owing to a "goal of great quality" after Mesut Ozil capped off a swift passing move with a smart finish.
"I felt we were well in the game in the first half. We started very brightly, but after we conceded there was a slight wobble up until half time," Howe said.
"Then their second goal was a goal of great quality and that has ended the game for us."
