WIGAN got their fans dreaming of another glorious FA Cup run as they sent Premier League Bournemouth crashing out.

The 2013 winners have enjoyed some memorable days in this competition and this was another notable scalp for them.

And David Moyes will certainly have to be wary when he brings his West Ham side to the DW Stadium next weekend.

Skipper Sam Morsy gave League One leaders Latics an early lead before second half goals from Dan Burn and Callum Elder settled it.

And it was no more than they deserved against a Cherries side who beat Arsenal with a superb fight-back three days earlier.

Wigan had come within minutes of finishing this game at the Vitality Stadium – only to be denied by a last gasp equaliser.


But Paul Cook's men picked up where they left off by taking the lead inside the first 10 minutes.

Ryan Colclough beat a couple of defenders down the left then got his low cross over to Will Grigg.

Cherries keeper Artur Boruc did well to save the initial effort with his legs but there was home skipper Sam Morsy to sweep home the rebound.

Romantics in the sparsely populated stands were starting to sense an upset – and a few omens.
