The Cherries enjoyed a superb afternoon as they thumped a beleaguered Tigers side 6-1 on Saturday, and their manager believes the win had been coming for a while
Eddie Howe believes his Bournemouth side made good on a season's worth of threat by thrashing Hull City 6-1 on Saturday.
Mike Phelan's first game in permanent charge of the Tigers ran into a rampant Cherries display, with Charlie Daniels, Steve Cook, Junior Stanislas, Callum Wilson and Dan Gosling all on target at the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth's third home Premier League win in succession lifts it into the top half of the table and Howe hailed his side's greater efficiency in front of goal after it had hit the woodwork three times in a 2-2 draw at Watford before the international break.
