Cherries move on in Carabao Cup

AFC Bournemouth
Ibe scoring for Bournemouth from the penalty spot.

AFC Bournemouth beat Blackburn Rovers with a 94th minute winner to go through to the next round of the Cup.  Whilst dominating the game they still left it very late to win the match.

Stanislas finished well in the 14th minute and Ibe added another from the penalty spot in the 58th minute.  At this point the game should have been 5-0 to the Cherries, but they squandered multiple chances.

Lerma gave away possession to Conway who then went on to score in the 62nd minute for Blackburn.  Armstrong then scored from the penalty spot after Mings had made a crazy tackle to give the penalty away in the 72nd minute to make it 2-2.

Beer and meat pie was pre-match food and drink at the ground.

The most bizarre sending offs happened in the last minute when the Blackburn defender picked up the ball when Wilson would have gone through.

 

Celebrating after scoring the winner.

The goal finally came for the Cherries in the 94th minute when Wilson headed in from a corner.   Bournemouth made hard work of what should have been a more convincing scoreline.
