Thanks to Junior Stanislas' decider, Bournemouth won the game 2-1 and moved up to seventh position in the Premier League table.
Speaking of Stanislas' impact from the bench, Howe remarked: "I'm really pleased. It was a very tough moment for him.
"He'd not touched the ball. He is the penalty taker and grabbed the ball. But it's not easy to get the composure to grab the ball and take it. It was a huge moment for the team.
"It's been a long journey back from injury for him. We are delighted Junior was on the pitch as he has such a cool head.
"We had to defend well. We shaded it and deserved to win. They did well for long spells in the second half. But I was pleased with the mentality of the group to go again after conceding the equaliser.
Howe also paid a mention to David Brooks; the former-Sheffield United midfielder opened the scoring for the 'Cherries'.
"He has outstanding technical qualities. He's a goalscorer in waiting. A big moment for him.
"He's started really well in his time with us, and the potential of his performances are huge."
