Ake praises Bournemouth's defensive unit after thrashing Huddersfield
The cherries kept back-to-back clean sheets in the Premier League on Saturday
Callum Wilson's hat-trick in Bournemouth's win over Huddersfield was reward for his attitude during a long injury lay-off, says Cherries manager Eddie Howe.
Wilson, making only his second Premier League start since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in February, helped Bournemouth to their third win in four Premier League games.
"Football is a difficult game to read and predict futures," said Howe.
"When he scored a hat-trick against West Ham (in August 2015) he looked like he had the world at his feet. But all the way through his injury process he has been positive."
Wilson headed Bournemouth in front from a corner before doubling the lead after beating the offside trap five minutes later.
The hosts were reduced to 10 men shortly before half-time when Simon Francis was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Rajiv van La Parra.
Harry Arter scored his first goal of the season - a low finish after robbing Scott Malone just outside the penalty area - before Wilson drilled home following Joshua King's pass.
