\"\"Bournemouth and Burton Albion have advanced to the quarter-finals of the English League Cup with wins over Norwich and Nottingham Forest respectively.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe made eight changes to his side who won the clash against Championship opposition 2-1.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth went ahead six minutes before the break.<\/p>\n

Stanislas received the ball wide on the left from Defoe, and produced a couple of step-overs to trick Alex Tettey and then smashed the ball into the roof of the net in what was the Cherries’ first attempt on target.<\/p>\n

Norwich got an equalizer with 20 minutes remaining but they were only on level terms for two minutes before the Cherries went back ahead.<\/p>\n

Tom Trybull lifted the ball over Bournemouth’s backline and Onel Hernandez bobbled a finish into the bottom left corner.<\/p>\n

But the Cherries were soon back in front when Steve Cook smashed home from a corner.<\/p>\n

League One side Burton took a deserved lead early in the second half against the Championship’s Forest.<\/p>\n

Jamie Allen broke clear from midfielder and squared the ball to Scott Fraser 30 yards out, he took a touch and his strike, via a huge deflection off a defender, flew high into the net.<\/p>\n

Fraser grabbed his and Burton’s second in the 64th minute and it was no more than they deserved.<\/p>\n

Boyce’s shot deflected off a Forest defender and found its way to Fraser who had only Steele to beat and he comfortably tucked it inside the near post.<\/p>\n

Forest got themselves back into the game at Burton when Lewis Grabban was slipped through by Gil Dias and prodded past Dimitar Evtimov.<\/p>\n

Burton looked to have wrapped it up eight minutes from time when Jake Heskerth volleyed home.<\/p>\n

Fraser’s cross to the far post was met by Hesketh, who unleashed a fierce strike past Steele to make it 3-1.<\/p>\n

However, Arvin Appiah ensured it would be a nervy finish when he scored on his debut to give Forest hope in stoppage time but the hosts held on to make the quarter-final draw with a 3-2 win.<\/p>\n
