Goals from Fabio Carvalho and substitute Igor Thiago sealed the Bees’ place in round three as their opponents finished with 10 men. Bournemouth handed full debuts to summer signings Ben Gannon-Doak and Amine Adli, while Brentford defender Aaron Hickey, recalled by Scotland this week, made a first competitive start in almost two years. The home side took just two minutes to register the first shot on target as Junior Kroupi’s low effort was saved awkwardly by Hakon Valdimarsson. Brentford were saved by the woodwork when Julio Soler’s deflected shot struck the left upright with Valdimarsson beaten. Former Liverpool youngster Carvalho came close to putting the Bees ahead against the run of play when he dragged a shot inches wide from just inside the penalty area. Carvalho did fire Brentford into the lead 11 minutes before half-time, ghosting onto the end of Kristoffer Ajer’s knockdown from Rico Henry’s cross before tucking home at the far post. Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola brought star man Antoine Semenyo off the bench at half-time in a bid to find a way back into the contest. Henry, making only his third start since 23 September, continued to impress at left wing-back and carved a chance for Frank Onyeka soon after the restart, but Onyeka was too elaborate with his attempt at a backheel finish. Advertisement It was a relatively quiet first start in English football for former Bayer Leverkusen star Adli, although he did force a smart save from Valdimarsson with a snap shot in the 54th minute. Moments later, centre-back James Hill spurned the chance to make it 1-1 when he headed over from close range after getting on the end of Christie’s whipped free-kick. Hickey was taken off just before the hour and replaced by Brentford’s record signing and former Bournemouth forward Dango Ouattara. Valdimarsson had to be alert to prevent substitute Nathan Collins from scoring an own goal after the Bees defender made a mess of clearing Alex Scott’s teasing cross. Bournemouth were made to pay for spurning their chances when substitute Thiago doubled Brentford’s lead in the 65th minute. Onyeka robbed Scott deep inside his own half before picking out Carvalho inside the penalty area, and he drew three Bournemouth defenders to the ball before slotting in Thiago to apply the finish from eight yards out. Bournemouth substitute Evanilson had one shot cleared off the line and another saved by Valdimarsson as the home side tried in vain to rescue the tie. Bournemouth finished the game with 10 men when Julian Araujo was shown a second yellow card in stoppage time for a dangerous challenge on Thiago. Elsewhere, Newcastle target Jorgen Strand Larsen fired Wolves to a 3-2 League Cup win over West Ham as Premier League Leeds and Sunderland crashed out on penalties to lower league opposition. Wolves have reportedly rejected a £50 million (€58 million) bid from the Magpies for Larsen, who could prove to be a replacement for Alexander Isak. The Norwegian was only introduced 17 minutes from time as Vitor Pereira made eight changes after losing both his side’s opening two Premier League games. Larsen produced two blistering finishes in three minutes to turn the tie around at Molineux and heap more pressure on West Ham boss Graham Potter. Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta had given the Hammers the lead after Rodrigo Gomes put Wolves in front. But West Ham, who have conceded eight goals in losing their opening two Premier League games, remain without a win this season. Leeds have splashed nearly £100 million (€116 million) on new players after returning to the Premier League, while Sheffield Wednesday fans have worried for the club’s survival as wages to players and staff have regularly been paid late. The home fans were encouraged not to attend by the club’s Supporters’ Trust in a protest against club owner Dejphon Chansiri. However, it was Wednesday who could celebrate at Hillsborough as Leeds missed all three of their penalties after a 1-1 draw. Sunderland were also embarrassed by League One Huddersfield on spot-kicks after a 1-1 draw. Burnley needed a stoppage-time winner from Oliver Sonne to beat second-tier Derby 2-1.
