Howe refusing to panic about Bournemouth slump

Jefferson Lerma's remarkable own goal put them on the back foot and they were left with a third successive 2-1 loss after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang responded to Joshua King's equaliser.

"It's important the confidence levels aren't affected by those defeats," Howe said.
