Howe singles out returning defender
Cooper made his first appearance in 11 months following a lengthy lay-off with a hip injury as the Cherries retained their place in the third automatic promotion spot.[LNB]Howe said: "Shaun was outstanding. He did not look like he'd been out of the team for all that time or at all.[LNB]"It was like signing a new player having him back in the heart of our defence. He shows great composure and reads the game well and made a huge difference."[LNB]The Bournemouth boss added: "Accrington are a good side and it was always a bit of a worry until we got the second goal and after that it was game over.[LNB]"We dropped out of the top four last week but the lads have responded well and it was a terrific effort, and I cannot praise them enough."[LNB][LNB]
