Travers is on the spot

BOURNEMOUT­H WIN 3-0 ON PENS

MARK TRAVERS was the penalty shootout hero as Bournemout­h survived a scare to see off League Two Forest Green.

Irishman Travers saved all three Rovers spot-kicks from Joseph Mills, Kevin Dawson and James Morton.

Bournemout­h winger Jordon Ibe also missed his penalty but Joshua King, Dominic Solanke and Philip Billing converted to send the Cherries into round three.

Forest Green stopper Jojo Wollacott made a string of superb saves in the 90 minutes to keep his side in it.

Bournemout­h boss Eddie Howe brought on King and Ryan Fraser as second half substitute­s.

The Cherries thought they had won it 16 minutes from time, but Jack Stacey’s shot rebounded off the post.
