With seven Premier League teams in the FA Cup, only four matches took place today in the EPL. A snowy day in England was coupled with late winners and a performance for the ages.

Bournemouth 2-1 West Brom
West Brom had the best chance at the Vitality in the first half. Salomon Rondon had a free header that was grabbed with ease by Asmir Begovic. The Baggies would take a quick lead in the second half. Jay Rodriguez smashed it home with a Rondon header setting him up.
Bournemouth stole the match and took the three points at home. After Jordan Ibe’s equalizer in the 77th minute, this beautiful Junior Stanislas free-kick sent the cherry fans into a frenzy.
