Bournemouth v Wolves: FA Cup latest, plus EFL, Bundesliga, La Liga and more – live
Key events
Goal! Middlesbrough 1-0 Derby (Azaz 80)
It’s a scrappy goal, but a great finish. After a series of bobbles and blocks in the box, the ball falls to Finn Azaz who fizzes a shot into the top left corner to give Boro a late lead.
In League One, with 10 minutes to go, Barnsley lead 4-1 against Lincoln, Bristol Rovers have dragged it back to 2-2 against Rotherham, Cambridge United are 2-0 up at Crawley – where both sides are down to 10 men after the dismissals of Rushian Hepburn-Murphy and James Gibbons – and Reading have levelled to make it 1-1 at Wigan.
Goal! QPR 1-2 Sheffield United (Frey 72pen)
Queens Park Rangers have hope against Sheffield United, Michael Frey sending Michael Cooper the wrong way from 12 yards after a handball.
It’s full time in the Bundesliga’s 2.30pm kick-offs. Wolfsburg held on to beat Bremen 2-1, but otherwise the scores remained unchanged: RB Leipzig 1-2 Mainz, Bochum 0-1 Hoffenheim, Heidenheim 0-3 Gladbach, St Pauli 0-2 Dortmund.
Goal! Bournemouth 1-1 Wolves (Cunha 60)
Oooosh. What a finish. From nowhere, Matheus Cunha takes a touch and, 35 yards out, floats a beautiful effort into the top corner. Wolves are level. Peter Higginson, take a bow.
In League Two, Grimsby have equalised to make it 1-1 at Cheltenham. Doncaster have doubled their lead against Newport, Harrogate are now 2-1 up against Accrington and Swindon have the lead at Walsall.
Goal! Rangers 1-2 Motherwell (Dessers 54)
Rangers have clawed their way back into the game against Motherwell, Cyriel Dessers halving the visitors’ advantage.
In League One, Rotherham are on the comeback trail against Bristol Rovers having gone 2-1 up via Zak Jules. Barnsley are 3-0 up against Lincoln, Georgie Gent netting the third, Mansfield have levelled against Burton, Leyton Orient lead Charlton 1-0 and Wigan are beating Reading by the same scoreline.
Goal! QPR 0-2 Sheffield United (Campbell 54)
Sheffield United have doubled their lead at Loftus Road, Tyrese Campbell turning on his heel and curling in a long-range screamer.
It’s time for the second halves of the 3pm kick-offs. No rest for the wicked.
What else is going on, then? It’s goalless between Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla in La Liga at half-time. In the Bundesliga, where there’s about 10 minutes to go in the 2.30pm kick-offs, Wolfsburg are 2-0 up against Bremen, Mainz have turned it around to lead RB Leipzig 2-1, Hoffenheim are 1-0 up at Bochum, Gladbach are beating Hoffenheim 3-0 and Dortmund are two goals to the good against St Pauli. In Serie A, Atalanta and Venezia have played out a 0-0 draw. I even teased some Eredivisie and Ligue 1 updates, didn’t I? Utrecht and NAC Breda are deadlocked, while Nice hold a one-goal advantage at Saint-Étienne.
Some unusual football-adjacent data analysis from L Json here. “Regarding the curious name of Evanilson, there are about 190,000 people in Sweden with the name Eva, and over 170,000 people with the surname Nilsson. There is no statistic of how many are named Eva Nilsson but my own estimate is about 15,000.”
Peter Higginson is feeling confident again. “We’re just letting Bournemouth feel like they’re the better team as part of our cunning plan to storm back with a Cunha hat-trick. Not drunk.”
Jeremy Boyce has emailed in. “STFC fan here. The mighty Shrews as you said are currently 2-1 down at Posh: worse, they’ve had a man sent off, are enjoying 22% possession, and will be bottom of League One tonight, barring miracles. It’s not looking good, I’m already checking out the GPS for the long trip to Barrow next season.”
The half-time whistle is going around the grounds. In League One, Rotherham have levelled against Bristol Rovers via Sam Nombe. In League Two, Doncaster lead Newport 1-0. Otherwise, things are unchanged. There’s smoke coming off my keyboard. Nothing to worry about.
It’s half-time at the Vitality. Bournemouth lead 1-0 but will be seriously frustrated that it isn’t more. Inevitably, there has been a VAR drama. Wolves are down but not out.
Another goal chalked off for Bournemouth. Alex Scott has the ball in the back of the net, but only after scuffing his shot on to his own hand. It’s ruled out for handball.
Time for another League One roundup. Cambridge United lead 1-0 at Crawley, Northampton are 1-0 up at Exeter, Barnsley are now 2-0 up against Lincoln, while Peterborough and Huddersfield have restored their leads against Shrewsbury and Stevenage respectively.
There have been more goals in Scotland, where Dundee and St Johnstone are level at 1-1 after two goals in three minutes and Ross County lead Kilmarnock 1-0.
No goal! Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
There’s VAR and semi-automated offside in the FA Cup fifth round and, as it turns out, both are getting interminably prolonged use. Milos Kerkez bundles in at a corner, but it brushes Dean Huijsen’s upper shoulder right on the line as it goes in. After a ridiculously long deliberation, it’s decided that the shoulder isn’t the issue, but there has been a very marginal offside. The Bournemouth fans let the referee, Sam Barrott, know how they feel in no uncertain terms.
Goal! Rangers 0-2 Motherwell (Sparrow 30)
It’s all gone pear-shaped for Rangers. Tom Sparrow gets in behind on the right and leathers a shot into the far corner beyond Butland’s outstretched leg.
Goal! Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves (Evanilson 30)
The deadlock is broken at the Vitality. James Hill sends up a dangerous long ball from the back, Antoine Semenyo latches on to it and curls in a shot. Sam Johnstone, the Wolves goalkeeper, makes an initial fingertip save, but the rebound falls for Evanilson who fires into an empty net.
Goal! Luton 1-0 Portsmouth (Clark 25)
Are Luton finally ready to turn around their fortunes? The Championship’s surprise relegation strugglers lead against Portsmouth, Jordan Clark rounding off a counter-attack to put them 1-0 up at Kenilworth Road.
There are more goals trickling through in League Two, too. Crewe have doubled their lead at Chesterfield, Notts County lead 1-0 at Fleetwood, Harrogate are 1-0 up against Accrington and Cheltenham have opened the scoring against Grimsby.
It’s all go in League One. Barnsley are 1-0 up against Lincoln, Burton lead Mansfield, Shrewsbury have equalised at Peterborough and Stevenage have drawn level with Huddersfield. And breathe.
Peter Higginson writes in. “Wolves are looking good for the last four. Unfortunately it’s the last four of the league!” Badum tish.
Goal! Rangers 0-1 Motherwell (Armstrong 9)
It’s been a good start for Motherwell at Ibrox. The visitors are 1-0 up through Luke Armstrong, a bizarre dispossession from a failed counter-attack allowing him to score on the rebound after a fumble by Jack Butland.
It remains goalless at the Vitality Stadium, though Bournemouth and Wolves have traded a few early efforts. Any more thoughts on who’s joining Aston Villa, Palace and Preston in the FA Cup last eight?
There’s only been one goal from League Two’s 3pm kick-offs so far, with Crewe leading 1-0 at Chesterfield through Shilow Tracey.
Goal! QPR 0-1 Sheffield United (Brereton 10)
Ben Brereton Díaz has his third goal since returning to Sheffield United in January on loan from Southampton, nodding in a scooped cross from Vinícius Souza to give the visitors the lead at Loftus Road.
We’ve got some early goals around the grounds in League One. Bristol Rovers lead Rotherham 1-0 thanks to an early goal from Ruel Sotiriou, Huddersfield are 1-0 up at Stevenage, Peterborough have put one past Shrewsbury and Blackpool lead at Stockport.
