Substitute Abdul Fatawu scored a stunning extra-time winner as Bournemouth lost 1-0 at home to Sky Bet Championship leaders Leicester.<\/p>\n
Fatawu collected Kelechi Iheanacho\u2019s pass on the edge of the penalty area before bending a powerful left-foot shot into the top corner to send the Foxes into the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
Leicester made nine changes from the side beaten at home by promotion rivals Leeds last week but still showed their Premier League credentials.<\/p>\n
Dennis Praet had the game\u2019s first shot on target when he put an overhead-kick tamely into the arms of goalkeeper Mark Travers from Marc Albrighton\u2019s lofted cross.<\/p>\n
Arjan Raikhy also fired wide from the edge of the box in the opening minutes.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth rested top-scorer Dominic Solanke and handed a full debut to January transfer window signing Enes Unal.<\/p>\n
Turkey international Unal caught the eye with an industrious first-half display, although his ninth-minute 30-yard free-kick was a touch ambitious as it flew high and wide.<\/p>\n
In the 15th minute, Leicester\u2019s stand-in goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk had to come quickly off his line to beat Unal to Philip Billing\u2019s through ball.<\/p>\n
And three minutes later Hamza Choudhury was on hand to clear Unal\u2019s close-range shot off the line.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott should have done better after being picked out by Luis Sinisterra\u2019s low cross but he blazed over from midway inside the penalty area.<\/p>\n
Leicester continued to pose a threat on the counter-attack and Yunus Akgun should have at least hit the target when he headed wide from another Albrighton centre.<\/p>\n
The Foxes had another big let-off 11 minutes before half-time as left-back Milos Kerkez drilled a cross-shot towards the six-yard box but Unal could only stab wide.<\/p>\n
Albrighton, one of the few survivors from Leicester\u2019s 2021 FA Cup-winning side, was inches away from firing the Foxes ahead in the 41st minute when his low strike from the edge of the area slammed against a post.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth goalkeeper Travers then made an acrobatic save to turn Wanya Marcal\u2019s follow-up effort over the crossbar.<\/p>\n
In the final minutes of the half, Stolarczyk made a good reaction save to keep out Sinisterra\u2019s header from a corner before Scott put the rebound wide at the far post.<\/p>\n
It was Bournemouth\u2019s turn to be denied by the woodwork five minutes into the second half as Marcos Senesi\u2019s long-range curler beat Stolarczyk before hitting a post.<\/p>\n
Stolarczyk was called into action again in the 74th minute to beat away Kerkez\u2019s well-struck near-post effort.<\/p>\n
Akgun should have won it four minutes from the end of normal time when he found himself one-on-one with Travers but blazed over.<\/p>\n
Just as the game looked to be heading for a penalty shootout, Ghanaian Fatawu won it in the final minute of the first half of extra time.<\/p>\n
