Bournemouth boss Howe praises Stacey for winning debut

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe praised Jack Stacey for victory over Everton.

Stacey was handed his Premier League debut.

Howe said, “I thought Jack did really well. He was up against a really tough competitor in Alex Iwobi who is an outstanding player.

“He was examined by him and responded every time. I thought he stepped up defensively and did a really good job for the team.

“Usually, he's a marauding full-back, up and down the line. But he knew he had to be responsible and defend first. He did it really well.

“I was really pleased with him. It's a huge moment for any player to make their debut in the Premier League. He's done it in impressive fashion and was part of a winning team so credit to him."
