It may have ended in defeat but there was certainly plenty of action to enjoy as Norwich City were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Bournemouth.

The top-flight hosts took the lead through a fine Junior Stanislas strike in the 39th minute as City couldn't find the back of the net, with Dennis Srbeny denied by keeper Artur Boruc and the post before half-time.

Mario Vrancic and Felix Passlack also went close but Onel Hernandez did find an equaliser in the 70th minute, squeezing a Tom Trybull pass beyond Boruc for 1-1.

However, the Cherries reclaimed the lead within three minutes as Steve Cook slammed home to finish a goalmouth scramble after a corner.

Srbeny, Vrancic and Hernandez all went close to another equaliser and substitute Jordan Rhodes missed a golden chance to take the tie to penalties deep into injury-time, heading wide from a Vrancic cross as Bournemouth held out.

Eddie Howe's team have subsequently been handed a quarter-final trip to Chelsea, while the Canaries have had to accept a fourth consecutive fourth round exit in the competition they have won twice in their history.

City's attentions have now turned back to the league and searching for a fourth consecutive Championship victory when they travel to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
