Wilshere can be a brilliant player for Bournemouth, says Howe

Eddie Howe has backed on-loan Jack Wilshere to be brilliant player for Bournemouth.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has lauded the impact of Jack Wilshere after Junior Stanislas' wonder strike secured a 1-0 victory over high-flying Everton.

Stanislas, who netted twice in a thrilling 3-3 draw in last season's corresponding fixture, put the hosts ahead on Saturday with a stunning 23rd-minute strike, Wilshere and Harry Arter having struck the woodwork in the early stages.

Although Everton improved after the interval, with substitute Enner Valencia squandering a gilt-edged chance late on, Bournemouth - who suffered a surprise home defeat to Preston North End in the EFL Cup last time out - held firm to secure their second league win of the campaign.
