AFCB v Blackburn Rovers
25 September 2018
Carabao Cup 3rd round
A Callum Wilson stoppage time header put the Cherries through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup in a five goal thriller at Dean Court. Junior Stanislas got Bournemouth off to a great start in the Carabao Cup with his first goal of the season after 14 minutes when he converted a cross from Simon Francis. Jordan Ibe then made it 2-0 early in the second half from the penalty spot after he had been brought down by Darragh Lenihan, but Blackburn fought back with Craig Conway unleashing a powerful shot from distance that beat Artur Boruc and Ming's foul on Brereton in the box gave a penalty to Blackburn which Adam Armstrong scored from to make it 2-2 with 19 minutes to go. Everything looked set for penalties until added time when Williams received a straight red for a fouling Callum Wilson and for handball. Wilson then scored from the corner heading in to make it 3-2 in stoppage time. |

8 | Great play on the right. Francis puts a low ball into the box, it hits a Rovers defender, and almost deflects in, but Raya does well to claw over.
14 | He's back!! Francis does well to get down on the right and pulls one back for Stanislas, who hits it on the volley and fires home! 1-0
29 | Good block by Mings. The defender throws himself in front of an Armstrong corner to avert the danger for now.
32 | So close to a second! Francis again bursts down the right and swings one in for Defoe, but it takes an excellent save from Raya to keep the shot out.
35 | Brilliant through ball by Stanislas. Defoe races forward to latch onto the winger's ball, but the Rovers 'keeper gets there first.
37 | Raya to the rescue for Rovers again. Defoe is found in space in the box, but the 'keeper makes himself big and saves well.
