Bournemouth 2-3 Preston North End (AET): Simon Makienok's hat-trick heroics secures hard-fought victory for Lilywhites

A three-goal haul from Danish striker Simon Makienok booked Preston's place in the fourth-round of the EFL Cup after a night of high-drama at Dean Court.

Simon Makienok fired Preston into the lead in the 10th minute at Dean Court before Lewis Grabban equalised from the penalty spot early in the second-half.

Dan Gosling made it 2-1 to Eddie Howe's men with 14 minutes remaining before Makienok's late header levelled the scores one more leading to extra-time.

Makienok made it a night to remember as he completed his hat-trick in extra-time to seal his side's place in the next round.
