Bournemouth vs Aston Villa. Carabao Cup Fourth Round.
Report and free match highlights as Bournemouth make it five wins in a row with 3-0 home win over Aston Villa to reach Carabao Cup quarter-finals; Amine Adli, Lewis Cook and Alvaro Rodriguez hit goals for home side; much-changed Villa see seven-game unbeaten run ended on south coast
Bournemouth recorded a fifth consecutive win across all competitions to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with a 3-0 home win over Aston Villa.
Despite making eight changes, the in-form Cherries produced another exciting display to follow up wins against AC Milan and Manchester United, and maintain their newfound momentum under new boss Marco Rose.
Bournemouth and Villa produced an entertaining fourth-round clash on the south coast as both sides had a combined 36 shots, with Amine Adli, Lewis Cook and Alvaro Rodriguez scoring the home side's goals.
Villa's first defeat in eight games was labelled a "terrible showing" by ex-Cardiff striker Jay Bothroyd on Soccer Special , who criticised their "poor defensive display" after boss Unai Emery made nine changes from Saturday's impressive win over Man City.
Bournemouth immediately picked up where they left off after Sunday's emphatic 3-0 victory at Manchester United as Adli struck a seventh-minute opener from Julio Soler's cross.

And the ex-Bayern Munich midfielder was punished for his wastefulness as Bournemouth doubled their lead just six minutes into the second half.
A mistake from Villa goalkeeper Marco Bizot allowed Cook's delivery to creep in at his near post.
