Steve Cook says Bournemouth's remarkable 4-3 victory over Liverpool was the best day in the history of the south-coast club.
The defender scored one of three Bournemouth goals in the final 14 minutes of a thrilling encounter at the Vitality Stadium, which saw the Cherries record an unforgettable 4-3 win to dent the title charge of their visitors.
It was Bournemouth's first ever victory over Liverpool and, despite beating Manchester United last season and with promotions in their recent past, Cook does not believe it has ever been better for the Cherries.
Asked if it was the top day in the club's history, the defender replied: "By a country mile. Especially against a side like Liverpool. We've never beaten them, never come close to beating them.
"A side with that much history. It's definitely the best result I've been involved in, in football."
Cook has a healthy goalscoring record for a defender but his touch and finish was more akin to the league's deadliest strikers.
Despite that, the 25-year-old was more pleased with Ake's winner - as the on-loan Chelsea man did his parent club a huge favour with his late heroics.
"It was very emotional, very emotional. I think I'm an emotional guy anyway," Cook said. "I was just delighted to score, but when I had scored and was running back I was just hoping we were going to nick the draw.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd win it. So I'd say the fourth goal meant a lot more to me than my goal.
"It was crazy and I think the celebrations showed that.
"Sometimes you can smell blood and I think mentally they had gone a little bit. At 3-1 up they probably thought they'd won the game, which is very unlike a Jurgen Klopp side.
"We need to kick on, have a good week's training. We have a very tricky game next week at Burnley. Hopefully we can build on this and keep climbing."
