Bournemouth advance past Crystal Palace after epic penalty shootout

Bournemouth have beaten Crystal Palace in an epic penalty shootout to reach the Carabao Cup third-round.

With the match tied at 0-0, the game went straight to penalties due to Carabao Cup rules.

The shootout ended 11-10 after Palace captain Luka Milivojevic failed to beat Asmir Begovic.

The Cherries will now face Manchester City in the third-round, while Palace exit the competition at this stage for the second year in a row.

After the loss, Eagles boss Roy Hodgson said: "Every penalty was almost perfect so congratulations to both teams on that, and congratulations to Bournemouth on winning the game.

"They deserved to win it - they played very well and I can only wish them luck up at Manchester City next week.

"I am not happy or I don't think it is a good idea the third round of the competition was announced before we played the second round. I don't understand the benefit of doing that."
