Bournemouth boss Howe admits Ibe made the difference for Brighton win

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe admits Jordon Ibe made the difference for victory over Brighton.

Cherries substitute Ibe came on and set up both of the home side's goals in the second half.

Howe said, "Tonight was a really good cameo of what Jordon is about. He's different to everyone we have and he has the ability to beat people.

"His backheel was a moment of magic and the weight of his pass to Defoe was perfect so it's really pleasing to see.

"He's a player of immense promise and it's easy to underestimate how young he is because he's been around for a long time. He's still learning but has the attitude to improve and that's shown this season where he's come back a better player."
