Wilshere will do great things for Bournemouth - Howe

Eddie Howe said Jack Wilshere's quality was evident in his half-hour debut cameo as Bournemouth beat West Brom 1-0.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe believes Jack Wilshere will do great things for the club after making his debut in the 1-0 victory over West Brom at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

Howe opted to start Wilshere on the bench and introduce him after 63 minutes when the game was still goalless, admitting only the Arsenal loanee's fitness prevented him from starting.

A deft finish from Callum Wilson in the 79th minute gave Bournemouth a deserved first victory of the Premier League campaign, and the England international's influence from the bench made a mark on the manager.
