Eddie Howe was quoted after the match as saying: "Thankfully we don't have goal bonuses in the contracts. We took them out. During the five games we didn't win the performance levels were still strong. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the team and I think we have proved that. When we have that ruthlessness we are hard to stop. The lead has changed so many times it's almost become the tag no-one wants. That's been the nature of it and it may stay that way until the end of the season, so back-to-back wins are so important".
