Bournemouth saw off Championship strugglers Stoke City to reach the Carabao Cup fourth round.
Second-half goals from Dominic Solanke and Joe Rothwell gave the Cherries their first home win under Andoni Iraola.
Solanke found the bottom corner from Adam Smith's cross, before Rothwell netted direct from a free-kick three minutes later.
The Cherries, who are yet to win in the Premier League this season, made eight changes from Sunday's defeat by Brighton.
After a goalless first half with few chances for either side, Iraola's half-time changes paid off with Solanke taking just six minutes to make an impact.
