Ryan Christie hat-trick gives Marco Rose first Bournemouth win

Ryan Christie produced a superb hat-trick to hand Marco Rose his first win as Bournemouth manager in a 4-0 Carabao Cup third-round victory over Lincoln City. Christie scored in the 7th, 69th and 88th minutes, and Rayan added a fourth in stoppage time. Bournemouth made eight changes, with Michele Di Gregorio debuting and Alvaro Rodriguez making his first start. Lincoln had some early chances through Dan Oyegoke and Ryley Towler but could not convert. James Hill hit the woodwork, while Christie's late double sealed a comfortable win. Marco Rose had taken only two points from his opening three Premier League games, but this convincing triumph will boost confidence ahead of the next round.
