'He can be a difference-maker' - Howe hopes Ibe's cameo can kick-start Bournemouth career

After the former Liverpool player came off the bench to inspire his side's win over Brighton, the manager hopes it is the start of something big

Eddie Howe hopes Jordon Ibe's match-winning cameo against Brighton and Hove Albion can light a fire underneath the winger's Bournemouth career.

Ibe came off the bench with the Cherries staring down the barrel of a fifth Premier League defeat from as many games after Solly March's header for the Seagulls, but the ex-Liverpool man set up both Andrew Surman and Jermain Defoe to secure a 2-1 triumph.

The pair of assists were Ibe's first since making a £15million switch from Anfield last season.
