EFL Cup round-up: Marc Wilson nets the winner as Cherries edge past Morecambe

Bournemouth registered their first win of the season as Marc Wilson’s fine strike saw them overcome League Two table-toppers Morecambe 2-1 at the Globe Arena and move into the EFL Cup third round.

Republic of Ireland defender Wilson marked his first appearance since re-joining the Cherries last week with his first club goal since December 2010 as he fired in from considerable range in the 54th minute.

That was after Morecambe had swiftly cancelled out Max Gradel’s eighth-minute opener through Cole Stockton, and then almost gone ahead in first-half stoppage time when Tom Barkhuizen hit the post.
