Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe believes the team is back on form after an impressive away win at Brighton.

Struggling for points and results, the Cherries went to a fellow relegation threatened team and battered them 5-0.

Goals from Dan Gosling, Ryan Fraser, David Brooks, Callum Wilson and Junior Stanislas sealed the comfortable win.

Howe told the Daily Echo after the game: "Yes, I think so [rediscovering our identity]. We questioned it internally during the past few games with what we wanted to represent, how we wanted to play and every team needs constant reminders.

"You need to work towards that every single day.

"We did a lot of good work to try to get the team back in that mindset and it paid dividends.

"First and foremost, you have to defend right and I think we did, we protected our goal really well and then the attacking play could come out.

"It was trademark us and the style of play returned. The first goal was a great team goal and it was great to see Dan Gosling score after a long period.

"Once we got that first goal I think you saw a different us in the second half. We were a much more confident, cohesive unit and we scored some great goals.

"In the second half we gelled, linked really well around the box and showed some real quality. I will enjoy watching them back.

"I'd like to dedicate this to everyone connected with the club. The supporters who have travelled the length and breadth of the country not to always see what they wanted to see this season. They got their reward."
