Doesn’t seem to be a thread for this yet, so...
Its very rare to see someone do something both creative and essentially new. But Philip Biling of Bournemouth managed it tonight. It was similar to a chest pass - except not off the midriff but (entirely deliberately) played with the middle of his back. And it was productive too as it found his strike partner in a very dangerous position, which forced a Burnley defender to challenge from a location where a clean tackle was deeply unlikely, resulting in a penalty. That was converted as the second in a 2-0 win for the Cherries.
I wonder how many times previously Bournemouth have been in an FA Cup QF? Can’t have been many.
