Bournemouth beat Aston Villa 3-0 at the Vitality Stadium to advance to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals for the first time in eight seasons, condemning Unai Emery's side to a third-round exit despite arriving in good form.
Amine Adli opened the scoring in the seventh minute, with Lewis Cook also on the scoresheet as the Cherries controlled the tie throughout. The result extended Bournemouth's run to five wins in all competitions.
The victory sets up a quarter-final trip to Anfield. Bournemouth's squad is valued at €611m according to FootVal, fractionally ahead of Aston Villa's €608m, underlining the competitive parity between the two clubs.
For Emery, the defeat continues a frustrating record in the Carabao Cup, according to Mundo Deportivo. The Spanish coach once again failed to reach the quarter-finals, with his side beaten convincingly. Villa face Barcelona in European competition in six days.
