Bournemouth talisman Dominic Solanke: We peaked at right time

Bournemouth talisman Dominic Solanke believes his side found their best form at the ideal moment.

The Cherries are comfortably safe in the Premier League after managing to net 15 points from seven matches in April.

Gary O'Neil's side were in danger for most of the campaign, but hit their groove at the ideal moment to pull clear of the drop zone.

Appearing on Match of the Day X, Solanke shared: “The main goal was to stay in the Premier League.

“We're pretty much there now, which is good, but when you get to that point of the season, you just know that it's like now or never.

“So I think everyone's done their work, the players, the management staff, the staff behind the scenes, everyone's just come together.

“We hit form at the right time. Towards the end is where you want to be on form. And we found that."

“That Liverpool win was a massive one for us," he added.

“Obviously, beating a team of that stature just gives us ultimate confidence, really."

“I think my game has always been like that," he continued on the fact that he has impressive assist numbers, along with the goals he scores.

“Obviously, being a striker, everyone always looks at the goals, but not many people really look at the other side of the game.

“I think my game is a lot more than just goals. I think I bring a lot to the team, and especially this season, that shows that in the amount of assists I've managed to rack up."
