Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is adamant they can beat the drop after yesterday's thumping of Leicester City.

Dom Solanke ended his top-flight goal drought with a timely brace as the Dorset club dragged themselves back from the brink to move within three points of safety following a stunning 4-1 win.

“It's a massive result for us, we knew we needed to win," said Cherries boss Howe.

“It was a really difficult first 45 minutes. Leicester played very well, we didn't.

“But so pleased with the players because in that moment when everything looks like it's conspiring against us we found something from somewhere.

“Again, against the odds, we showed great qualities, which has always been the hallmark of the team and the club. And we're going to need that even more so in the next three games.

“I think we've got it all on to achieve it but we can do it. We wouldn't have been able to do it if we hadn't got the win tonight. It keeps us alive."
