SUBSTITUTE CALLUM WILSON fired Bournemouth into the League Cup quarter-finals for the first time with a 2-1 win over West Brom on Tuesday.
The former Coventry City striker raced clear of the Albion defence with four minutes to play before slotting under goalkeeper Boaz Myhill to dump the Premier League club out of the competition.

Eddie Howe’s side, flying high in the Championship, dominated the first half at Dean Court as Bournemouth followed up their record 8-0 victory at Birmingham City last weekend with another impressive display to progress past the fourth round.
Eunan O’Kane’s 49th-minute strike broke the deadlock, but Bournemouth had to defend resolutely to keep Albion out. The introduction of Georgios Samaras eventually paid off for the visitors as the Greece international’s effort deflected in off Tommy Elphick after 85 minutes.
However, Bournemouth immediately went down the other end and Wilson netted for the fifth game running to extend Albion’s winless streak to four games.
Chris Baird did blaze a header over the crossbar from Saido Berahino’s cross as Albion spurned a late chance to force extra time.
Meanwhile, Derby overturned an early two goal deficit to smash Fulham 5-2 at Craven Cottage and send the Rams into the last eight. Moussa Dembele put the hosts two up before goals from Chris Martin, Johnny Russell, Simon Dawkins (two) and Jeff Hendricks turned the game into a sensational rout for Derby.
In the night’s other game, Sheffield United striker Michael Higdon struck twice in the last five minutes to give his side a dramatic late win away to MK Dons. Benik Afobe put the home side ahead with a penalty midway through the second half before Higdon’s late heroics sent the Blades through.
