United States captain Tyler Adams has said his Bournemouth side have "turned a page" after a 3-1 Europa League win over Sparta Prague on Thursday.
Adams struck in the 57th minute to level the game, after which Rayan and Evanilson both scored to seal the points.
Bournemouth have now won their last seven matches in all competitions.
"We can't get too comfortable," Adams said to TNT. "You have to be able to hold that winning standard, that winning mentality becomes contagious, especially when you are playing every three days.
"It doesn't feel that long ago since we lost 5-1 to Chelsea and that stings a little bit, we don't want to feel that ever again.
"I think we turned a page and we have been a more mature team ever since that -- the way that we defend, the way that we take pride in the mentality of making sure we don't give the opposition any opportunity to breathe.
"Everyone is working hard every day in training. Guys that aren't playing are working hard, the guys that are playing are working hard, so there's a lot of competition, but that breeds success. I'm happy with the team's performance."
Adams hailed Evanilson, 27, who stuck a brilliant finish across the goalkeeper into the corner in the 81st minute to put his team in front in the Czech capital.
It maintained their perfect start in the Europa League with four wins from four, leaving them in a strong position to progress directly into the last 16.
"[Evanilson] is on fire right now," Adams added.
"You see him work on it in training, he does extra work on his finishing every day after training so for him to do it in a game is no surprise.

"He has so much quality, so whenever he gets in and around the box we are confident that is going to find the back of the net."
Bournemouth were awarded a first-half penalty for handball, but Lewis Cook's kick struck the post.
Sparta then went ahead via a brilliant individual goal from Gambian forward Ebrima Singhateh.
Tobias Guddal let his team down badly when he picked up a second yellow card within two minutes of his side taking the lead.
The visitors made the extra man count and equalised just before the hour mark.
Álvaro Rodríguez found his path to goal blocked on the edge of the box, but Sparta were unable fully to clear, the ball breaking to Adams, who rifled it first time into the bottom corner.
Bournemouth were soon well on top and deserved their winning goal.
Adrien Truffert won the ball on the edge of the area, Ryan Christie took over and slipped in Evanilson, who showed wonderful feet to make space and finish into the far corner.
Rayan drilled in a third from range in the last minute.
