Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is happy Junior Stanislas was able to score a confidence-boosting penalty against Crystal Palace.

It was Stanislas' first league goal since returning from a knee injury sustained in March.

"It was a very tough moment for him," said Howe.

"He had just come on the pitch, suddenly he was given a penalty and he was the penalty taker.

"He grabbed the ball, I could see that straight away. But without a touch in the game or feeling you are in the match, it's not an easy thing to do to have the composure to then finish it off.

"He took it really well and it was a huge moment for the team, he would have known that as well. That will be a big moment for him."
