Nathan Ake nodded in on his first Premier League start of the season to provide Bournemouth a timely win but has now given Eddie Howe a selection headache.
Howe admitted he has a decision to make over Ake's inclusion for Sunday's trip to Arsenal with Adam Smith returning from suspension.
Ake had only made two appearances off the bench in his loan from Chelsea before producing a man-of-the-match display in a centre-back role at Stoke. Howe said the Dutch defender's versatility would give him a good chance to keep his place in the games ahead.
'Absolutely,' said the Bournemouth manager.
