Bournemouth 2 West Brom 1 - in pictures

The bookies were right. The pre-match odds pitched the hosts as favourites heading into this game at Dean Court and it proved true.

But only after a rip-roaring cup tie which a Tommy Elphick own goal with four minutes left looked to have sent to extra-time, cancelling out Eunan O'Kane's opener, only for Cherries top scorer Callum Wilson to scamper clear seconds later to win it.

Both teams made ten changes to their teams from the weekend, which on the surface might lead to questions of how seriously they were taking it.

Yet it did little to harm the spectacle as the very impressive hosts claimed a win against an Albion side who rather huffed and puffed in places.

There was little surprise at Alan Irvine's decision to make major changes from the team which drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace on Saturday, with Craig Dawson the only man to keep his place.

Chris Baird was handed his first start since the second round win over Oxford United, while youngster Liam O'Neil, who played in the last round against Hull City also returned.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe made the same number of changes to his side with 37-year-old veteran full-back Ian Harte, once of Leeds, handed a rare start.

Yann Kermorgant was also one of the men restored to the side having served a three game suspension and he had the first shot, drilling a low effort straight at Boaz Myhill which the Albion keeper held at the second attempt.

Christian Gamboa was impressing for Albion with some nice touches but it needed a more industrial piece of defending, by way of a full-bloodied block on a Kermorgant shot, to keep Myhill untroubled after a lung-bursting run forward by Adam Smith from right-back.

Gamboa then created Albion's first opportunity with a whipped in cross which Liam O'Neil headed wide, having got between the centre-backs.

Camp held a bouncing Youssouf Mulumbu volley which had gone through a crowd of players at the second attempt before, as the visitors began to find some rhythm in attack, Blanco failed to connect properly with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box.

But the hosts looked capable of causing problems with their impressive movement and Myhill showed impressive reactions to keep out Tokelo Rantie following Junior Stanislas' fine run forward.

That's not to say Albion were lacking in creativity either and Mulumbu's fine pass set in motion a move which ended with Ideye shooting weakly at Camp from inside the area.

Blanco had been the visitors most creative outlet and had the first attempt of the second period, driving a shot about a foot over from the edge of the box.

But four minutes after the restart Albion were behind. Stanislas, as he had done on several occasions in the opening half, burst forward out of midfield and with defenders backing off he slid in O'Kane, who finished first time under Myhill.

Dawson headed wide at a free-kick as Albion looked for an instant response and Blanco missed an Anichebe cross from four yards out, with the visiting fans screamed for handball, before Gamboa forced Camp into a sprawling save away to his left with a thunderbolt from all of 30 yards.

Samaras and Stephane Sessegnon were introduced off the bench and the latter shot wide from distance with his first touch. Bournemouth were beginning to look increasingly dangerous on the counter and Ryan Fraser hacked wide from close range after exchanging passes with Smith.

Anichebe thought he might have won a spot-kick when he went down under pressure from Camp but referee Paul Tierney remained unmoved.

Albion seemed out of ideas but with four minutes to go, from almost nothing, Samaras found space on the left-hand side of the box and his shot, though lacking power, deflected off Elphick and past Camp.

They were level for only seconds. Wilson got away down the right, cut inside and though Myhill got a hand to his shot, there was enough power to send the ball bouncing just inside the far post.

It sparked understandable pandemonium in the home stands which should have been silenced by Baird, who missed the chance to level when he headed over from just four yards out unmarked in a pulsating finale.
