Norwich City were beaten by Premier League Bournemouth on penalties at Carrow Road, Ryan Christie's strike sending the Canaries crashing out of the Carabao Cup.
Jordan Hugill found the breakthrough in the 22nd minute, calmly converting after Gabriel Sara's drive was palmed into his path.
After a slew of missed chances, the Cherries then found the equaliser. Saydee's original poked finish was blocked by Gunn, but fell into the path of Marcondes to tap home via a Sam Byram deflection.
Dean Smith's side then made it 2-1, Idah tapping home Teemu Pukki's centre after he'd been released by Max Aarons.
Just as they thought they were through, however, Bournemouth struck, Dominic Sadi's cross cleared straight into Brooklyn Genesini to take the game to penalties.
Ex-Bournemouth man Todd Cantwell then missed the vital kick, hitting Neto's bar before Christie's unerring strike ended the dramatic tie and City's cup journey.
