Thanks for your support

The atmosphere really cranked up a few notches after the break and that no-doubt played a big part in the come-from-behind effort.

We look forward to seeing you all again in eight days for the visit of the Gunners.


FT

FULL TIME: We're heading back to Wigan

That turned into a real barnstormer. Credit to Wigan for their approach throughout but the home fans will be pleased and feel their side earned the replay with their attacking intent.

90'

Fraser rattles the upright!

A low skidder, it beats Walton, but not the post and goes behind! Late drama!

90'

COOKIE!!! THE CHERRIES ARE LEVEL!!!

Ball into the box and Steve Cook beats the 'keeper and it's in the back of the net. The Cherries deserve their leveller - and now they have it!

Three minutes to add on

Come on you Cherries!

89'

Wigan want a penalty

They have a break and Toney is in on goal only Boruc to beat but incredibly Smith tracks back and gets the ball, the referee waving away shouts for a penalty.

87'

The Latics are penned in

Hyndman feeds a ball in for Mousset, he turns and is brought to the turf, right on the edge of the box.

Fraser over the freekick, and he gets it over the wall, but Walton tips over.

85'

Getting closer!

The Cherries crowd out a defender and win back possession, Pugh low for Wilson and his shot is blocked away. Is an equaliser coming?
82'

Hyndman... Over!

We've had one Cherries first today thanks to Mousset's goal, and Hyndman lines one up from Wilson's lay off - but he blasts well over from a good edge of the box position.

80'

Ten minutes to get back in it

And the Cherries are certainly doing their best. Can we snatch another late important goal?

75'

The push continues

Ibe's quick feet set Pugh free but the winger's low centre is put behind for a corner.

In the set piece comes and Wilson flicks it just wide with his header!

72'

Wilson introduced to the action

The striker comes on for Afobe, who's worked his socks off today but never quite got the run of the ball.

70'

Living dangerously

In the last two or three minutes it's been all Wigan, and they could have notched another. Toney bundled a volley into the turf wide and Power just had another blocked. 

The Latics are certainly a good side and have played very well so far today.

One for the Mousset scrapbook

A great strike it was too. Let's hope that he, or one of his team-mates, can add another soon.

63'

The crowd are getting into this

Today there's a youthful vibe around the ground and the home fans are backing the side to get level. All set up very nicely.

60'

Cook close to a leveller!

The pressure is being piled on and Pugh centres for the Cherries. Mousset has a ten-yard shot blocked by a defender, it falls back for Cook but his volley bobbles just wide.

Plenty of life left in this one!

57'

LYYYYYSSSS!!! The Cherries are back in this!!!!

It's Mousset's first Cherries goal and more importantly, we're back in this! A cracking strike from the edge of the box after Ibe had fed him.


Come on!

56'

Ah!!! Cookie hits the bar!

Picture his goal at Brighton last weekend, exactly like that except off the top of the bar!

54'

Benik fires in, good save!

Fraser pulls back well and Afobe has the chance for a free shot, looks like he's taken it but Walton does well to push the ball over the bar.

To be a fly on the wall at half time...


46'

Second half up and running

The Cherries have it all to do, can they get back into this FA Cup tie against the League One leaders?

Two changes for the Cherries

We're set for the second half, but before that starts Eddie Howe has made two changes.

Pugh and Ibe are on in attack, with Mahoney and Brad Smith making way.

HT

HALF TIME: Cherries have it all to do

Bournemouth have created plenty, but conceded sloppily twice. We're going to need some turnaround in the second half to keep hopes of a Cup run alive.

38'

Cherries up against it

Grigg and Powell have put the FA Cup cat among the pigeons here at Vitality.

29'

IT'S TWO! A POWELL FREEKICK DEFLECTS HOME!

A handball on the right wing gives Powell the chance to swing in a freekick, he does so, but it takes a nick off the top of the wall, loops over Boruc and it's 2-0!

IT'S TWO! A FREEKICK DEFLECTS HOME!

A handball on the right wing gives Powell the chance to swing in a freekick, he does so, but it takes a nick off the top of the wall, loops over Boruc and it's 2-0!

25'

Powell whistles one wide for Wigan

Wigan are probably where they want to be in this game, and they have pace and confidence to break when they get their chances. Danger man Powell sets his sights from 24 yards there but it's wide of the post.

Mousset won't be able to get much closer


18'

This time it's Ake...

Fraser delivers the corner and Ake is up highest to head but it bounces barely a foot wide. 

It's 1-0 to WIgan, but only just.

15'

Mousset, again! Cherries getting closer

Mahoney into the box and his cross-shot is palmed into Mousset's path by the 'keeper. The Frenchman's connection is true, and is bound to level matters, but is blocked, possibly by Afobe, right on the goal line.

Hopefully its coming...

13'

Mousset to the byline

The striker shoes twinkling toes to beat his man right on the byline, looks to to cut back for Afobe but wrong foots his strike partner and Wigan clear.

11'

Cherries starting to get feet on the ball

It's all a bit subdued, but the home side are now looking to boss possession a bit more as we look to get back into this tie.

5'

Lys nearly levels!

Fraser swings in a ball, cracking header from Mousset but Walton blocks well, the rebound comes back to the striker, but he can;t preposition himself quickly enough to put it away.

4'

WIGAN LEAD! WILL GRIGG HAS IT!

Well that didn't take long, the Latics are ahead. 

It hadn't been coming but a cross from the left was headed down and Grigg (you can guess the song currently being sung from the away end) was there with time a space to swipe home from six yards.

1'
