The Denmark international grabbed his first goal for Preston on 11 minutes but Bournemouth rallied in the second half.
Lewis Grabban scored his first goal since returning to the Cherries in January as he converted a penalty following a Ben Pringle handball before Dan Gosling added a second to set Howe's side on an apparent course to the fourth round.
