Matheus Cunha's stunning long-range effort had cancelled out Evanilson's opener, but the Wolves forward was then sent off for violent conduct in the final moments of extra-time.

Nevertheless, Wolves had a chance to win the shootout when Sam Johnstone saved from Dean Huijsen, but Doherty rolled his spot-kick wide and Boubacar Traore hit the crossbar, allowing Luis Sinisterra to send Bournemouth through.

Jorgen Strand Larsen had gone close for Wolves before Bournemouth opened the scoring on the half-hour mark, Evanilson tapping home when Johnstone could only parry Antoine Semenyo's shot.

The Cherries thought they had another four minutes later as a combination of Milos Kerkez and Huijsen bundled home at the far post, amid suggestions of offside against the latter.

However, the semi-automated offside technology – introduced in English football for the first time this weekend – failed, leading referee Chris Kavanagh to speak to both managers amid a lengthy video assistant referee (VAR) check, which ultimately led to the goal being disallowed.

Alex Scott was then penalised for handball when he should have tapped home for 2-0, and Cunha punished Bournemouth's wastefulness when he sent a 30-yard strike dipping into the top-right corner on the hour.

Bournemouth laid siege to the Wolves area from there, and though the visitors held out to force spot-kicks, Cunha's red card – awarded for a mindless headbutt on Kerkez – deprived them of their best penalty taker.

That came back to haunt them when Doherty sent a dismal effort wide and Traore struck the crossbar, allowing Sinisterra to clinch just their third ever quarter-final appearance.
