Lewis Cook commented on a 3-0 win over Sturm Graz for Bournemouth.
The Cherries claimed a 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad in San Sebastian to kickstart their Europa League campaign last month, and they sustained their 100% winning record on Thursday evening.
Goals from Evanilson, Rayan and Alvaro Rodriguez gave fans at the Vitality Stadium a night to remember, lifting a little bit of pressure off Marco Rose at the beginning of the 2026/27 campaign.
Bournemouth are still waiting for their first Premier League win under the German, and they were battered 5-1 by Chelsea last week, having conceded two goals in the first three minutes of the match.
Cook, who has been on the journey with the club for over a decade, was delighted for the fans to witness this moment. He hopes that the Cherries can now take this momentum into their next game.
"I thought the performance was top. It was a special night, you could feel that before the game, when we were all lining up as players. The atmosphere was great. It was a top performance, we bounced back from the weekend and it was something we can be very proud of.
“[Bouncing back] is a positive. There are so many games in a short space of time. If we have a bad game then we've only got a couple of days to get over it and then onto the next one and I thought the lads showed that today and handled themselves well. It is tough with a bad result to come back and do well. Everyone who played today was fantastic and it was a collective effort and a great win.
"It is all new to us. All I know is that when you win games it is good. Hopefully we can use the momentum and carry on."
