Gallery: Marcondes steals the show

AFC Bournemouth ran out 3-1 winners against Yeovil Town in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup, with Emiliano Marcondes stealing the show with a superb hat-trick.

The Dane became the first Danish player to score a hat-trick in the competition since Nicklas Bentdner notched a treble for Arsenal back in 2011.

And Marcondes’ three clinical finishes meant that he’s also the first Cherries player to bag a hat-trick this campaign.

Alongside Marcondes’ brilliant display, Nathan Moriah-Welsh made his first start for the first team, one of nine academy graduates involved in the matchday squad.

Welsh international Chris Mepham also captained the side for the first time in front of the 2030 AFC Bournemouth fans in the away end.

The Cherries progressed to the fourth round which will be drawn on Sunday and you can see the best of the action in the gallery above.
