DOMINIC Solanke celebrated his 50th goal for Cherries in the memorable comeback win over Nottingham Forest – but rather than take personal plaudits, he was quick to point out the “amazing” character of his teammates.

First-half goals from Cheick Kouyate and Brennan Johnson gave Forest a 2-0 lead at the break, only for wonder-strikes from Phil Billing and Solanke to restore parity just after the hour mark.

Solanke played a big part in the eventual winner, hunting down Scott McKenna to win the ball back high, allowing the striker to fashion in Jaidon Anthony for a first Premier League goal.

Reflecting on the milestone, Solanke told the Daily Echo: “I'm delighted to get my 50th goal for the club.

“Not a bad way to get it as well, but it was a massive comeback win today.

“In the first half, we conceded two goals that weren't nice to concede.

“One from a set play and one from a penalty, which could have gone either way.

“So that was disappointing. But we knew that we were definitely in the game and we needed to get that next goal, which we did with a good finish from Phil.

“And then we were just up from there.

“I mentioned after the last game, I think we know the quality we've got in the squad and we showed that today.

“Even the character was amazing. To be two down at half-time and to come back out - in the Premier League especially - and come back to get three goals, it just shows a lot about us.”

The former Liverpool man’s goal saw the Reading-born striker display a feat of acrobatics, going for the bicycle kick to convert his first goal of the campaign.

Solanke was quick to praise his captain, Lloyd Kelly, for setting up the chance, whilst also sharing that set-pieces were a focal point of Cherries’ training sessions.

“We work quite hard on set plays. Big opportunities for a goal.

“It was nicely worked - it was a good header back from Lloydy and found me in the right place. Good finish.”
