Scott Parker got his reign as Bournemouth manager off to the perfect start as the Cherries thumped MK Dons 5-0 to progress into the second round of the EFL Cup.
David Brooks scored twice with Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing and substitute Christian Saydee also on target to help Parker’s side rout their League One visitors.
Bournemouth dominated possession in the first half but it was MK Dons who had the first meaningful effort on goal when debutant Scott Twine’s volley was easily kept out by Mark Travers.

Brooks should have opened the scoring on the half-hour mark as Philip Billing rounded off a fine team move by cutting the ball back for the Welsh international who blazed over from seven yards.
