Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has expressed his delight after Johsua King breaks his duck for the season.

King came off the bench to score the winner during Bournemouth's 1-0 victory over Brighton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night and manager Eddie Howe has been left delighted by the fact that the Norwegian international is off the mark for the season.

Howe said: "Josh is off the mark now and Jermain Defoe got off the mark on Friday. That's good for them and good for us.

"Confidence is important for your strikers. It was a strange game, it was very similar in patterns to the game on Friday night where we dominated the ball.

"I thought we had our fluency and rhythm really going, our finishing could have been more clinical. We had to be patient. Very much so, we always take these games seriously. We have always had mixed results."
