Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth came back from West Bromwich Albion (5-1) and qualified for the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Cherries conceded a goal from Caleb Taylor after a quarter of an hour, but they turned the score around with solvency before the break against a West Brom team that has already played five games since Carlos Corberán left for Valencia and has only won one.
Justin Kluivert and Dango Ouattara, with a double, put out the ‘fire’ at the Vitality Stadium and Antoine Semenyo, after the restart, increased the victory to put Iraola’s team in the next round and await a rival in a draw that will be held this Sunday after the match between Arsenal and Manchester United.
Leicester City, winner of the title in 2020, also advanced by beating Queen’s Park Rangers 6-2, including a goal from Jamie Vardy; Wolverhampton Wanderers, who beat Bristol City (1-2); Brighton & Hove Albion, who beat Norwich City with Julio Enciso’s first goal this season (0-4); and Nottingham Forest, who beat Luton Town (2-0), a team that had just fired Rob Edwards, the coach who led them last season in the Premier League.
The only Premier team that fell this Saturday afternoon was Brentford, surprised by Plymouth Agyle, which Wayne Rooney managed until a few days ago.
