Top half could be the cherry on cake for Bournemouth

Bournemouth won’t rest on their laurels despite virtually ensuring Premier League survival with Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Swansea, insists match-winner Steve Cook.

Cook’s late header lifted the Cherries 13 points clear of the relegation zone and their tally of 38 points should be enough to keep them up, but the defender wants Bournemouth to finish their maiden top-flight season in the top half.

“We’d like to think we are safe. We want to get to 40 points as soon as possible but I think we are more or less there,” the defender said.
