Rampant Cherries book place in FA Cup fifth round after scoring FIVE goals in first half

DOMINIC SOLANKE completed a demolition job in Swansea's first half to comfortably take Bournemouth to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The £19million forward completed a devastating first 45 minutes with a clever finish before removing his top to reveal a tribute to teammate Jaidon Anthony's late mother.

Donna Antony died last week and was a popular figure at the Vitality Stadium.

Solanke capped off an excellent first half, with the damage done in the first fourteen minutes.

Lloyd Kelly put the Cherries ahead in the sixth minute when he was left unmarked and swept home from David Brooks' free-kick.

Brooks then held off Alex Scott for a second as the Wales international burst down the right and unselfishly knocked the ball back for the midfielder to slot past Swansea keeper Andrew Fisher.

Fisher had a stinker for Bournemouth's third when his soft clearance was played straight to Scott, who passed to Luis Sinisterra to score.

Brooks added a fourth in the 35th minute when he raced onto Solanke's pass and headed past Fisher.

And Solanke made it 5-0 just before half-time when Sinisterra's pass split Swansea's woeful defense, giving the striker an easy finish.

The Championship side managed to plug their leaky defense after the break as Bournmouth were unable to add to their score.

But the result will increase the pressure on new Swansea boss Luke Williams, who has seen his side draw in Birmingham and lose to Southampton.

Meanwhile, Cherries boss Andoni Iraola had a habit of taking inexperienced clubs on a cup run in his native Spain.

He took minnows Mirandés and then Rayo Vallecano to the semi-finals of the Spanish Cup and is now eyeing a run in the FA Cup.
