2017-18 English League Cup QF's - Chelsea beat Bournemouth 2-1 to reach SF's Wednesday Dec 20,2017

Alvaro Morata scored an injury-time winner as Chelsea beat Bournemouth to reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals, with boss Antonio Conte relieved to avoid a "dangerous" period of extra-time.

Willian opened the scoring, capping a fine team move which resulted in Cesc Fabregas squaring for the Brazilian to tap home.

Bournemouth thought they had forced extra-time when Dan Gosling curled home from the edge of the box in the final minute after being picked out by Jordon Ibe.

But substitute Morata sent Conte's team into the last four when he finished from Eden Hazard's backheel.

Chelsea will play Arsenal in the semi-finals, hosting the first leg in the week commencing 8 January.

The second leg is two weeks later. Manchester City play Bristol City in the other tie.
