Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe suffered another FA Cup embarrassment as League One leaders Wigan booked a fourth round home tie against West Ham in convincing style.
Unsung Latics Sam Morsy, Dan Burn and Callum Elder scored the goals that revived memories of their club’s FA Cup triumph in 2013 and brought Howe crashing back to earth after a memorable Premier League win against Arsenal at the weekend.
To the hardy Bournemouth fans who had made the 520-mile round trip, seeing their understrength side fold was depressingly reminiscent of a 3-0 defeat at Millwall at the same stage last season.
