Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe believes Junior Stanislas is playing himself back into form.

The English winger scored Bournemouth's only goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

He returned from injury in January from a four week lay-off and has started all of the Cherries Premier League since.

Howe told the Daily Echo: "Junior has quality and he showed that against Tottenham.

"Okay, he missed the chance but it was a really incisive counter-attack by us and it was good play.

"He then backed it up minutes later with a great finish off his left foot so I was really pleased for him.

"He has had his injury troubles this season but he is building back to his best form and is a big player for us."
