0:00:13 > 0:00:22Good evening. A treat for you on a Thursday night with all the drama
0:00:22 > 0:00:28of the League Cup. Eight sides from the Championship. Standby for one
0:00:28 > 0:00:34or two upsets tonight. Northampton provided the upset of the opening
0:00:34 > 0:00:38round after knocking out Cardiff. Aidy Boothroyd's side were at home
0:00:39 > 0:00:43to another team from a Championship in Wolverhampton Wanderers.
0:00:43 > 0:00:49Coventry are playing deferred here. And after the sacking of their
0:00:49 > 0:00:53manager over the weekend, they could hardly have chosen eight of

0:01:06 > 0:01:15will find out how they got one against Wigan. We will have all the
0:01:15 > 0:01:22other goals from the second round, including some real belters. We
0:01:22 > 0:01:26start tonight and Northampton Town. Aidy Boothroyd has enjoy it a great
0:01:26 > 0:01:32start, after dumping Cardiff City out of the competition. They have

0:02:42 > 0:02:47
0:02:47 > 0:02:53but no one is arguing. A moment to cherish for Danny Bach, arriving in
0:02:53 > 0:03:03the nick of time. Scores his first ever goal for Wolverhampton

0:03:04 > 0:04:23Apology for the loss of subtitles for 79 seconds
0:04:23 > 0:04:29The outcome was inevitable. His first goal in new colours gifted to
0:04:29 > 0:04:39him by Chris Hackett's delicious delivery. Five minutes before half-

0:04:43 > 0:04:48time, Northampton asked were again with walls of the Championship. He
0:04:48 > 0:04:51will be uplifted by what his team has achieved. Unbeaten in all
0:04:51 > 0:05:01competitions up to now in this season. They have already knocked
0:05:01 > 0:05:26
0:05:26 > 0:05:36leader back. As the clock ticked over 45, Dean Snedker was beaten
0:05:36 > 0:05:53
0:05:53 > 0:06:03almost inadvertently by Frank Championship team ahead into the

0:09:20 > 0:09:30things off! -- goal. A second half substitute with a moment to cherish.
0:09:30 > 0:09:37
0:09:37 > 0:09:42Sometimes you can freeze on the television and you get a boring
0:09:42 > 0:09:47game. I don't think it was boring, I thought it was an entertaining
0:09:47 > 0:09:51spectacle. Wolverhampton are in the hat around 3 and we will have the
0:09:51 > 0:09:58draw at the end of the programme. Let's see how clubs from the
0:09:58 > 0:10:08Premier League got on in the second round starting with Stoke against
0:10:08 > 0:10:22
0:10:22 > 0:10:26from the headlines since taking over. A gift from Thomas Sorensen
0:10:26 > 0:10:33said the League 1 side on their way. James Collins on hand to profit
0:10:33 > 0:10:38from the fumble. And Stoke's first exit to a team outside the top
0:10:38 > 0:10:43division since 2007 is a real possibility. The Robins also hit
0:10:43 > 0:10:47the post before the interval, they were booed off at the break. But
0:10:47 > 0:10:53they picked up their game in the second period. Jones rising highest
0:10:53 > 0:11:03just after the hour mark to be the first man to breach the Robins's
0:11:03 > 0:11:05
0:11:05 > 0:11:08back line this season. Jon Walters converted Peter Crouch's knock-down.
0:11:08 > 0:11:16Another half an hour of drama. Paolo di Canio's men were in front
0:11:16 > 0:11:20again. But Aden Flint scored. Swindon's hopes of a first, third
0:11:20 > 0:11:24round appearance which checked again when Walters turned provider
0:11:24 > 0:11:30for Peter Crouch with nine minutes of extra-time remaining. Swindon
0:11:30 > 0:11:35refuse to settle for penalties, and with just over a minute left, some
0:11:35 > 0:11:45sharp thinking from Andrew Williams allowed Collins to complete his
0:11:45 > 0:11:46
0:11:46 > 0:11:50hat-trick and secure the biggest Today was something special. With
0:11:50 > 0:11:55the last energy and desire and quality, we scored the goal we
0:11:55 > 0:12:00deserved. We dominated them in the game. AA don't want to take
0:12:00 > 0:12:07anything away from Swindon, they were fabulous and the credit to
0:12:08 > 0:12:17their manager and to the supporters who followed them. Full untroubled
0:12:18 > 0:12:19
0:12:19 > 0:12:22to Hillsborough without malice -- Musa them Bailey. Despite a bright
0:12:22 > 0:12:27sparks, the Londoners were below par and the Yorkshire club took
0:12:27 > 0:12:32advantage. Having survived several scares, Wednesday found a break in
0:12:32 > 0:12:35the second half. Chris Maguire was sent tumbling by Stephen Kelly
0:12:35 > 0:12:42giving Gary Madine the chance to open his account for the new
0:12:42 > 0:12:46campaign. After the protests, last season's leading scorer sir the
0:12:46 > 0:12:51Owls and to a victory. Wednesday were good value for their lead,
0:12:52 > 0:12:59which was barely threatened. And on one of the few occasions the form
0:12:59 > 0:13:03did get forward, the goalkeeper made sure there was no way through.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Jones continues to sprinkle his magic. His unbeaten run as boss
0:13:08 > 0:13:14announced bans at 18 matches, a run that was never in danger. The only
0:13:14 > 0:13:22surprise is that the margin of victory was not greater. The Owls
0:13:22 > 0:13:26rightly booked their place in round We worked hard. We were disciplined,
0:13:26 > 0:13:33watched them, set traps for them and the players responded how the
0:13:33 > 0:13:40game plan went. It's nice for the coach and the manager. It's good to
0:13:40 > 0:13:48my staff, it's good for my staff. We tried to win the game. That's
0:13:48 > 0:13:54what happened. Norwich made 11 changes to face
0:13:54 > 0:13:59Scunthorpe. The rarest of the rare for the goals.
0:13:59 > 0:14:09A terrific strike. That goal was good but two minutes
0:14:09 > 0:14:17
0:14:17 > 0:14:27later was one even better, Duffy's decisive goal. Hoolihan was chopped
0:14:27 > 0:14:39
0:14:39 > 0:14:42down. From the spot, Hoolihan at this stage by League One
0:14:42 > 0:14:47opposition. They never really looked in danger of suffering the
0:14:47 > 0:14:51same fate this time round. There was half an hour gone when Zamora's
0:14:51 > 0:14:54inch-perfect pass gave Sean Wright Phillips the chance to slide in his
0:14:54 > 0:15:02first goal for the Hoops since joining from Manchester City a year
0:15:02 > 0:15:07ago. Walsall came close to levelling early in the second half.
0:15:07 > 0:15:16The rebound couldn't be forced in. Dyer made his first appearance
0:15:16 > 0:15:26since the opening game of last season. The second beautifully
0:15:26 > 0:15:34
0:15:34 > 0:15:39taken by Zamora. Another goal blasted in by
0:15:39 > 0:15:45SBosingwa. We want to progress in the competition. We will try and go
0:15:45 > 0:15:49as far as we can. It's important to really try and progress in every
0:15:49 > 0:15:54competition. There's not that many on offer, so if we can do well this
0:15:54 > 0:15:59year, that will supplement our league form. One bounces off the
0:16:00 > 0:16:03other. League One's Stevenage were
0:16:03 > 0:16:08unbeaten prior to the visit of Southampton who, by contrast, were
0:16:08 > 0:16:13boosting the wrong kind of 100% record. Both sides were to
0:16:13 > 0:16:18experience reversals of fortune. Lee, who deserves better luck,
0:16:18 > 0:16:23scored on his first appearance, followed a five-month injury lay-
0:16:23 > 0:16:29off. Roberts had a harder time of it. The key moment as far as Boro
0:16:29 > 0:16:35were concerned came when this slice was deemed an intentional back-pass.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41The refer yeah hadn't even had time to raise his arm before Chaplow
0:16:41 > 0:16:47took the free kick. Sharp proved alert. Stevenage saw that peace of
0:16:47 > 0:16:53opportunism as anything but Saintly. There was no doubting the
0:16:53 > 0:16:56worthiness of Southampton's third with this sublime volley ensuring
0:16:57 > 0:17:04safe passage to round three. Stevenage grabbed a consolation
0:17:04 > 0:17:09goal. It came in injury time. Substitute pulled one back with
0:17:09 > 0:17:14what looked like being the final goal of the game.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Southampton immediately restored their advantage with another
0:17:18 > 0:17:24unstoppable shot, this time from Reeves, rounded off Southampton's
0:17:24 > 0:17:30first win of the season and left Stevenage feeling decidedly hard
0:17:30 > 0:17:35done by. Some clinical finishing. Two
0:17:35 > 0:17:40absolutely fantastic strikes for the third and fourth goals. But the
0:17:40 > 0:17:50pivotal moment was the back-pass that I thought wasn't and I
0:17:50 > 0:17:50
0:17:50 > 0:17:55actually was complaining about the decision when Southampton scored.
0:17:55 > 0:18:05Leighton travelled to Goodison Park where Everton's Newark Which?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07
0:18:07 > 0:18:17Zition, Mirallas, was on his debut -- new acquisition. Instant Gladys
0:18:17 > 0:18:24Street hero. Soon it was two, again Mirallas involved. Better and
0:18:24 > 0:18:28better, Mirallas got on the end of Baines's cross to fire home the
0:18:28 > 0:18:38second and Everton's Thursday. And what do you know, he was also
0:18:38 > 0:18:48involved in the fourth goal. Neat feet and a sharp pass for Anichebe.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Everton had it done and dusted. The opposition had a go. A shot
0:18:52 > 0:18:59deflected wide. Orient had never beaten a top division side in the
0:18:59 > 0:19:06League Cup and that remains the case. Coleman found gay gay to make
0:19:06 > 0:19:10it 5-0 on the night. -- Gueye. No- one wants Everton in round three.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Everton in great goal-scoring mood. Coventry v Birmingham in days gone
0:19:15 > 0:19:20by was seen as a fixture between two of the biggest names in
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Midlands football. The Sky Blues find themselvess in the third tier
0:19:24 > 0:19:26while Birmingham are playing their season in the hundredship.
0:19:26 > 0:19:34Coventry's problems continue as they parted company with their
0:19:34 > 0:19:44manager on Sunday and it's not been the best of starts for Lee Clark.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Steve Bower your commentator for this one.
0:19:48 > 0:19:55COMMENTATOR: Covenry city of League One take on Birmingham City of the
0:19:55 > 0:20:05Championship. Richard Shaw's selection shows two
0:20:05 > 0:20:44
0:20:45 > 0:20:50job. It happened to him at Huddersfield, of course. He's yet
0:20:50 > 0:21:00to win a league game at three attempts. The Midlands cup victory
0:21:00 > 0:21:14
0:21:14 > 0:21:20would be much timely for himself Am bros is going to deliver this
0:21:20 > 0:21:26for Birmingham -- Ambrose. A good delivery. A free header and it's a
0:21:26 > 0:21:31really soft goal to give Birmingham the lead. And it's Lovenkrands.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Look at the marking here. Nobody anywhere near Lovenkrands. Restored
0:21:35 > 0:21:45to the starting line-up by Lee Clark tonight. And he repays him
0:21:45 > 0:21:53
0:21:53 > 0:22:00with a goal. Mullins. Broken to Burke. Gomis. Trying to stay on
0:22:00 > 0:22:04side. Managed it. Should have been 2-0. The woodwork saves Coventry.
0:22:04 > 0:22:14Once again, it was all too comfortable for Birmingham. Burke
0:22:14 > 0:22:17
0:22:17 > 0:22:27could and should have made it two. What chance. -- what a chance.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Jennings. Kilbane. Useful. An opportunity! McDonald's taken it.
0:22:31 > 0:22:38Coventry level. And the new managerial team have seen their
0:22:38 > 0:22:46team come back and get back on terms. This was all about the ball
0:22:46 > 0:22:53from Kilbane. Beautifully waited. First touch into his straid and it
0:22:53 > 0:23:03was despatched -- stride. A composed finish and his sixth for
0:23:03 > 0:23:18
0:23:18 > 0:23:28the club. 1-1. Birmingham and Kilbane rifles one
0:23:28 > 0:23:29
0:23:29 > 0:23:33in to put Coventry in front. What a two minutes!
0:23:33 > 0:23:41It's his goal that got them into the second round. His cross started
0:23:41 > 0:23:51the move. It came back in from Baker. Birmingham were all at sea.
0:23:51 > 0:23:58
0:23:58 > 0:24:04And Kilbane took it in his stride and rifled it past Doyle. Spector.
0:24:04 > 0:24:14Lifting it forward towards King. Away from Brown. King. Deflected.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15
0:24:15 > 0:24:24Into the arms of Murphy. Just looking for that half a yard.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30He hit Brown which took the pace out of it, gathered by Murphy.
0:24:30 > 0:24:37Hesitation in the Birmingham back line. Gordon's been beaten to it by
0:24:37 > 0:24:45Baker. Still Baker. Health and Safety away. Baker. Doyle away.
0:24:45 > 0:24:54Then Spector. Birmingham all at sea defence you havely. Jennings. Back
0:24:54 > 0:25:00in. Hussey with the drive. Blocked by Mullins. Birmingham who were
0:25:00 > 0:25:04cruising at 1-0 are struggling at 2-1. Excellent play from Baker.
0:25:04 > 0:25:14Goalkeeper got the first intervention, Spector with the
0:25:14 > 0:25:20
0:25:20 > 0:25:25second with Elliott looming. Spector! 2-2. Jonathan speck. From
0:25:25 > 0:25:30right back right on the stroke of half time equalises for Birmingham.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36He was allowed to bring it right from inside his own half initially.
0:25:36 > 0:25:46Watch the little touch there from Marlon King. Then Murphy couldn't
0:25:46 > 0:26:03
0:26:03 > 0:26:07keep out the strike. The American Birmingham. Right at the death. The
0:26:07 > 0:26:15Birmingham supporters are looking at their watches, hoping for late
0:26:15 > 0:26:25drama. There are four added minutes. Redmond's cross. Pablo's header.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27
0:26:27 > 0:26:36What a chance. The Spaniard knows it. He came in unopposed here. He's
0:26:36 > 0:26:46got to hit the target. We will need another 30 minutes to separate
0:26:46 > 0:26:54
0:26:55 > 0:27:02get there. Neither did Gomis. It's Baker!
0:27:02 > 0:27:07Birmingham didn't deal with it and they've been punished. Coventry
0:27:07 > 0:27:17have the extra time lead. Baker's second of the season and could be a
0:27:17 > 0:27:49
0:27:49 > 0:27:59crucial one. The second touch of from 3-3. Murphy beat the cross bar.
0:27:59 > 0:28:09Came to Coventry's rescue. Baker again. Might go all the way
0:28:09 > 0:28:22
0:28:22 > 0:28:28Richard Shaw for the first time have knocked Birmingham City out of
0:28:28 > 0:28:32the League Cup. After the few days this football club's had, it's the
0:28:32 > 0:28:38perfect feeling. Baker is the match winner in extra time, having come
0:28:38 > 0:28:44from behind inside the first three- and-a-half minutes of the game,
0:28:44 > 0:28:54they've shown terrific character after extra time. It's finished 3-2
0:28:54 > 0:28:54
0:28:54 > 0:29:00Tonight, I'm not saying it was a free game, but it is a game we
0:29:00 > 0:29:06could enjoy before getting back to the bread and butter of the league.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10They put one hell of a shift in. Everyone, members of staff, where a
0:29:10 > 0:29:16different class and I thought we deserved it. Are you going to stay
0:29:16 > 0:29:21in the hot seat? It is not my decision. If offered? I would be
0:29:21 > 0:29:27lying if I said I did not want the job. Tonight has given me a taste,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30and I enjoyed it. The rest of the staff were fantastic, everyone
0:29:30 > 0:29:35behind the scenes worked hard and pulled together and that is what
0:29:35 > 0:29:41this football club needs. auditions go, that was pretty good.
0:29:41 > 0:29:51More action now involving ties from Premier League clubs. Sunderland
0:29:51 > 0:29:53
0:29:53 > 0:29:58entertained more come at the go hand-in-glove. Won twice as a
0:29:58 > 0:30:07player and twice as a manager. He gave debuts to Steven Fletcher and
0:30:07 > 0:30:17Adam Johnson. Both did well. Johnson provided James Maclean on
0:30:17 > 0:30:22
0:30:22 > 0:30:3224 minutes. Morecambe nearly equalised. James Maclean went on to
0:30:32 > 0:30:35
0:30:35 > 0:30:39get his second goal. He is a wonderful talent. You could see
0:30:39 > 0:30:42that this evening. Abbey is an exciting player. There is an end
0:30:42 > 0:30:48product to his game and that is something that has been levelled at
0:30:48 > 0:30:54him. Maybe he doesn't produce, far from it. He is an intelligent
0:30:54 > 0:30:58player, knows what he is doing and I think he can combine all of those
0:30:58 > 0:31:04things to make himself a top- quality player.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08COMMENTATOR: they may have been two leagues apart, but it looked a
0:31:08 > 0:31:14tricky assignments for Aston Villa, facing Tranmere Rovers to have made
0:31:14 > 0:31:21a flying start. Paul Lambert made six changes since Everton. He got
0:31:21 > 0:31:31the desired response. Only the offside flag denied Stephen Ireland
0:31:31 > 0:31:38
0:31:38 > 0:31:45tough second period. Aston Villa set about increasing their lead
0:31:45 > 0:31:50after the restart. Williams could only parry the cross and Villa

0:32:15 > 0:32:19Crewe. Restarted his career with the rare women scoring his first
0:32:19 > 0:32:25Korea goal for them with his first touch. He did not manage that on
0:32:25 > 0:32:35Tuesday but celebrated a goal against his old club. The Hammers
0:32:35 > 0:32:38
0:32:38 > 0:32:43doubled their lead. A more recent graduates of the Crewe academy had
0:32:43 > 0:32:47their best chance. Smith almost caught. Stephen Henderson denied

0:32:54 > 0:32:59fuss. Steve Davis olds pleased at what a performance. I felt the game
0:32:59 > 0:33:05was even early on. A lot of the play was from end to end, but it
0:33:05 > 0:33:10was built up, constructive work. They got the goal and then stepped

0:33:32 > 0:33:42ideal opponents if you are looking for a quick pick me up. Danny
0:33:42 > 0:33:45
0:33:45 > 0:33:55Graham could not miss. The injury- hit Reds was far from disgraced.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56
0:33:56 > 0:34:05But when they are in full flow, they are impossible to stop. Keith
0:34:05 > 0:34:12Hill's and men had just half-an- hour to produce a come back. This
0:34:12 > 0:34:22kept the tie alive. Bestride was inches away from forcing extra-time.
0:34:22 > 0:34:29
0:34:29 > 0:34:36Two minutes from the end, Swansea could rest easy. The same could not
0:34:36 > 0:34:42be said. Swansea safely through. It has been a great start for West
0:34:42 > 0:34:49Bromwich Albion under Steve Clarke, but nobody told that to Yeovil.
0:34:49 > 0:34:59Rubin reader Scott This header and had spent two years as an Albion
0:34:59 > 0:35:09player. This sensational strike into the top corner. Then, on the
0:35:09 > 0:35:11
0:35:11 > 0:35:17whistle, Shane Long with a mistake. Yeovil began the second half
0:35:17 > 0:35:25brilliantly. Another header put the home team back on level pegging at
0:35:25 > 0:35:352-2. That was as good as it got as West Brom took control in the final
0:35:35 > 0:35:46
0:35:46 > 0:35:55quarter. This deflection left the goalkeeper with no answer. A second
0:35:55 > 0:36:01long goal made it safe the Albion. It finished 4-2. We kept ourselves
0:36:01 > 0:36:05in the running for 80 minutes. It was fantastic to be with the crowd
0:36:05 > 0:36:11and the atmosphere being created by the players because of their play.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14There were two teams playing a good football game. Reading's started
0:36:14 > 0:36:20with the same team that took on Chelsea last Wednesday, but they
0:36:20 > 0:36:28found it tough going against Darren Ferguson's side. An action-packed
0:36:28 > 0:36:34first half saw four goals scored. Paul Taylor rounded off a neat move.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39The Royals had scored 31 times in their last 12 League Cup ties, and
0:36:39 > 0:36:45it was extended with some sharp reactions to find the net for the
0:36:45 > 0:36:51second game running. Reading boss, Brian McDermott's back the keeper
0:36:52 > 0:36:56afterwards following the criticism he re served from some quarters for
0:36:56 > 0:37:00allowing Lee Tomlinson's efforts in. He said he was happy with his
0:37:00 > 0:37:08team's attacking play and felt all of the goals they conceded were
0:37:08 > 0:37:18poor. This strike looked a voidable. The visitors would only have had
0:37:18 > 0:37:24themselves to blame had this goal gone in. There was still eight
0:37:24 > 0:37:32minutes to go until half-time, when the 5th and final goal arrived.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Danny Guthrie's cross was looking for a Gareth McCleary. And Percival
0:37:36 > 0:37:42put it into his own net. With 10 minutes remaining, substitutes,
0:37:42 > 0:37:47Noel Hunt came close to settling the home fans's nerves, but it was
0:37:47 > 0:37:53still a satisfactory comeback. thought a response was good. We did
0:37:53 > 0:37:59not start very quickly. They got a goal up, and then they were 2-1 up
0:37:59 > 0:38:02and we have to keep going. It was a great comeback from Reading. Our
0:38:02 > 0:38:12last game involving a Premier League club saw Wigan going to
0:38:12 > 0:38:18Nottingham Forest. The omens were not looking too good with Forest
0:38:18 > 0:38:25not beating at top sides in the League Cup for almost 20 years.
0:38:25 > 0:38:35Nottingham Forrest made four changes. Roberto Martinez made
0:38:35 > 0:39:03
0:39:03 > 0:39:13Gomez who can strike a ball from that kind of range. Long-range
0:39:13 > 0:39:24
0:39:24 > 0:39:34effort. Very nicely struck by Andy And he got his cross in and that
0:39:34 > 0:39:43
0:39:43 > 0:39:53was brilliantly taken by Mauro Boselli. He plans the header past
0:39:53 > 0:40:02
0:40:02 > 0:40:12strike from Maynor Figueroa. He clearly fancied a strike, but to
0:40:12 > 0:40:17
0:40:17 > 0:40:27find the top corner like this! clear their lines. That was just
0:40:27 > 0:40:43
0:40:43 > 0:40:49over the bar from Jordi Gomez. Very top from Simon Gillett. It falls
0:40:49 > 0:40:59invitingly for Andy Reid, but was unable to do what Maynor Figueroa
0:40:59 > 0:41:05
0:41:05 > 0:41:15strike from Wigan. Jordi Gomez this time. What a glorious strike that
0:41:15 > 0:41:39
0:41:39 > 0:41:43was. Started by Albert Crusat. No Cox with a beauty. Nottingham
0:41:43 > 0:41:53Forrest's first effort on target in the match and it is another
0:41:53 > 0:42:02
0:42:02 > 0:42:12fantastic goal in this incredible referee has called Antolin Alcaraz
0:42:12 > 0:42:24
0:42:24 > 0:42:34for the earlier foul. He has shown game. That will be a free kick.
0:42:34 > 0:42:45
0:42:45 > 0:42:52Very late on Guy Moussi. It is a second yellow card, he is off. He
0:42:52 > 0:42:58goes Ryo Miyaichi. He has played in Callum McManaman. McManaman all the
0:42:58 > 0:43:02way. It is 4-1 and Wigan are through to round three. Only
0:43:02 > 0:43:12managed one goal last season, he is already off the mark in this
0:43:12 > 0:43:16
0:43:16 > 0:43:26professional performance. When you make seven changes, it's very
0:43:26 > 0:43:26
0:43:26 > 0:43:31difficult to get a side that's not loose. The standard they showed was
0:43:31 > 0:43:36great, they performed as a team. Even going down to ten men, we
0:43:36 > 0:43:41never lost composure, worked really hard for each other and McManaman
0:43:41 > 0:43:47got the well deserved goal. didn't want to come out here and
0:43:47 > 0:43:51lose. We had an opportunity now and then, we knew it would be difficult.
0:43:51 > 0:43:56Especially the second half, 3-0 down, you just go well, there's no
0:43:56 > 0:44:03way back, but I thought we tried to do the right thing which is what
0:44:03 > 0:44:07you instil in them day in day out, so good signs for us but you have
0:44:07 > 0:44:12got to give some credit to a very slick Wigan team.
0:44:12 > 0:44:18Great goals at the City ground but Wigan are through. The last round-
0:44:18 > 0:44:24up sees ten Championship clubs up against lower league opposition.
0:44:24 > 0:44:31Turf Moore, Burnley entertain League Two's Plymouth. Burnley
0:44:31 > 0:44:38chased a ninth consecutive home win. Plymouth lost their previous ailgt
0:44:38 > 0:44:42away ties. Things were going to plan -- eight. The perfect cross
0:44:42 > 0:44:47for Austin who started the season in breathtaking form. That header
0:44:47 > 0:44:51stretched the scoring streak to four goals for him in his opening
0:44:51 > 0:44:55five matches. Argyle refused to go quietly after a few tactical
0:44:55 > 0:45:05changes. They grew strorpbg and with the final whistle about to
0:45:05 > 0:45:11
0:45:11 > 0:45:15blow, they got their reward -- strong. Williams didn't disappoint.
0:45:15 > 0:45:25Turf Moor's not been a happy hunting ground. Their winless run
0:45:25 > 0:45:26
0:45:26 > 0:45:36stretches back some 35 years. Jenson rolled back the clears to
0:45:36 > 0:45:40
0:45:40 > 0:45:45clinch Burnley the win. P37-year- old saved penalties. A gallant
0:45:45 > 0:45:49effort from Fletcher's Argyle who had lots to be proud of as they
0:45:49 > 0:45:54headed home. It's been a tough return to the
0:45:54 > 0:46:01Football League for Bolton after 11 seasons in the Premier League. A
0:46:01 > 0:46:09trip to Crawley looked a challenge and so it proved. The header
0:46:09 > 0:46:19against the post in an early flurry for the Red Devils. Bolton had a
0:46:19 > 0:46:28
0:46:28 > 0:46:38half time lead. Bolton thought they'd double their lead but the
0:46:38 > 0:46:48flag came up for offside. Crawley's second League Cup campaign. A brace
0:46:48 > 0:47:08
0:47:08 > 0:47:13of late goals. Billy Clark levelled popped up. This from Ajose. We just
0:47:13 > 0:47:17about edged it, although there were a couple of risky moments. The odd
0:47:17 > 0:47:21penalty show and an offside goal. We were a threat all night going
0:47:21 > 0:47:25forward I thought. It's not been the best of weeks for
0:47:25 > 0:47:32Paul Jewell and Ipswich. Thumped 6- 0 by Blackpool at the weekend, the
0:47:32 > 0:47:39tractor boys threw away the lead at League One Carlisle. Things started
0:47:39 > 0:47:48well enough. Thomas had Carlisle backing off, providing enough room
0:47:48 > 0:47:52for the first senior goal for Lowongo. Goals from two 18-year-
0:47:52 > 0:47:58olds took the Cumbrians to round three for only the second time in
0:47:58 > 0:48:0238 years. Bett got on the end of Robson's cross to force extra time.
0:48:02 > 0:48:08Carlisle showed greater urgency, leaving Jewell to complain for the
0:48:08 > 0:48:15lack of fight from his players. The knockout blow nine minutes into
0:48:15 > 0:48:22extra time. Cresswell caught in possession. More misery for Ipswich
0:48:22 > 0:48:28who've now suffered League Cup defeats in the last seven seasons.
0:48:28 > 0:48:33Leicester hadn't lost to lower division opposition for 15 years.
0:48:33 > 0:48:41The home team made eight changes but Burton well worth the half time
0:48:41 > 0:48:51lead given to them by Palmer's free kick. Eight minutes after hatch
0:48:51 > 0:48:55
0:48:56 > 0:49:00time, the team managed to make the most of Whitbred's howler. This
0:49:00 > 0:49:10free kick made it 2-1 with half an hour left.
0:49:10 > 0:49:15How's this for a response from the Brewers? The referee gave a penalty
0:49:15 > 0:49:22for this which was taken and scored emphatically by Weir to restore the
0:49:22 > 0:49:28two goal margin for the team from the fourth tier.
0:49:28 > 0:49:33Burton saved their best for last when former Spurs junior Magoma
0:49:33 > 0:49:39took long range, an awesome 30 yarder into Schmeichel's top corner
0:49:39 > 0:49:45and four for Burton. There was a late second for the
0:49:45 > 0:49:50Foxes. The margin of defeat reduced to spare the blushes. A third
0:49:50 > 0:49:57successive league and cup loss for Leicester. Burton's best ever
0:49:58 > 0:50:03League Cup run continues. We needed to make them work for every scrap
0:50:03 > 0:50:08of a chance they could get. The game plan worked.
0:50:08 > 0:50:14A two time winner of the League Cup as a player, Steve Bruce's side got
0:50:14 > 0:50:20off to a flying start at Doncaster. The home team hadn't even touched
0:50:20 > 0:50:27the ball when McLean Palaceed Hull into the lead with barely 30
0:50:27 > 0:50:33seconds on the clock. It was 2-0 inside of ten minutes. This strike
0:50:33 > 0:50:39deserved the goal and Simpson was on hand to make sure it wasn't
0:50:39 > 0:50:42wasted. The long range striking stakes were raised further when a
0:50:42 > 0:50:46remarkable come Bach was kick started in stunning style on the
0:50:46 > 0:50:51half hour. Saunders' side were on top after
0:50:51 > 0:50:57the interval and their pressure told just before the hour mark as
0:50:57 > 0:51:04Jones rose well to guide in this cross. The pendulum swung further
0:51:04 > 0:51:10the way of the hosts with just over ten minutes left to play.
0:51:10 > 0:51:15Substitute Paul McKenna's tangle with Jones left Hull a man down.
0:51:15 > 0:51:20Despite the disadvantage, the Tigers came tantalisingly close to
0:51:20 > 0:51:25taking the lead as stoppage time approached. Simpson within inches
0:51:25 > 0:51:35of glory. The final act in a dramatic encounter arrived in the
0:51:35 > 0:51:38
0:51:38 > 0:51:42second additional minute. This approach set up Syers. They could
0:51:42 > 0:51:48have won the game, it went to the last kick of the post. The
0:51:48 > 0:51:53character and determination showed. I was proud of them.
0:51:53 > 0:51:59A show business welcome for the 004 League Cup winners Middlesbrough as
0:51:59 > 0:52:09Mowbray took his side to in-form Gillingham looking to claim another
0:52:09 > 0:52:10
0:52:10 > 0:52:13Championship victim. The stall was set out early. Mowbray's men were
0:52:13 > 0:52:17smashed into the lead midway through the first half.
0:52:17 > 0:52:21Having got off the mark for the club, the former Bristol Rovers
0:52:21 > 0:52:25winger search ford more in the second half, this time scytheing
0:52:25 > 0:52:31his way through the defence before scraping the post.
0:52:31 > 0:52:38His solitary strike appeared to be enough. Right at the teth, Park
0:52:38 > 0:52:45made sure with a sublime finish -- at the death. In the words of his
0:52:45 > 0:52:49manager, "job done". With Leeds making six changes and
0:52:49 > 0:52:59Oxford boast ago 100pfrs record, you wondered if Elland Road might
0:52:59 > 0:53:09
0:53:09 > 0:53:19witness a second round upset -- surprisingly easy word of the
0:53:19 > 0:53:23leaders. Oxford created opportunities. Constable was twice
0:53:23 > 0:53:28foil bid Ashdown but driven on by Austin, Leeds ran the show in the
0:53:28 > 0:53:34second half. The Jamaican showed why he's already a firm favourite
0:53:34 > 0:53:44at Elland Road. 16 minutes remained. This cross was
0:53:44 > 0:53:45
0:53:45 > 0:53:50converted from Diouff. Things wrapped up for Leeds.
0:53:50 > 0:53:55Two goals from Chadwick lead MK dons to a deserved win over
0:53:55 > 0:54:05Blackburn. His first arrived just after the interval following good
0:54:05 > 0:54:05
0:54:06 > 0:54:11work from Semagall. Chadwick hit a double in, his second of the
0:54:11 > 0:54:14evening arriving 16 minutes later after Keane failed to hang on to
0:54:14 > 0:54:22Powell's effort. Rovers came into the game unbeaten
0:54:22 > 0:54:31this season and did have some late hope when Goodwilly met a cross
0:54:31 > 0:54:35from new nesz to open his kts for the season -- from Nunez to open
0:54:35 > 0:54:41his account for the season. This is a fantastic club to. Play Blackburn
0:54:41 > 0:54:45hear and to beat them here, I'm happy. I've been working there for
0:54:45 > 0:54:5218 clubs and I respect the club immensely. It was nice to get the
0:54:52 > 0:54:55win. Preston had their eyes on another
0:54:55 > 0:54:58Championship scalp. Crystal Palace on a three match losing sequence
0:54:58 > 0:55:02seemed right for the taking. Rowe who helped down Huddersfield in the
0:55:02 > 0:55:08previous round got the ball rolling after 68 seconds.
0:55:08 > 0:55:13Palace are leaking goals at an alarming rate, not even the entire
0:55:13 > 0:55:17team could prevent the second being bundled home. Freedman felt that
0:55:18 > 0:55:24finished the tie, even though his side pull one back seven minutes
0:55:24 > 0:55:30before the break. Williams doing well to stay on his feet before
0:55:30 > 0:55:35delivering a cross for Wilbraham. That did little to calm Freedman's
0:55:35 > 0:55:40mood. A fabulous strike restored the cushion as Preston headed for
0:55:40 > 0:55:47the break in total command. If only res tonne could replicate this kind
0:55:47 > 0:55:53of form in the league -- Preston. Rowe made sure they were heading
0:55:53 > 0:55:58for round three with their fourth just past the hour.
0:55:58 > 0:56:02For the second year running, League Two opposition have ended Watford's
0:56:02 > 0:56:09run in the competition. Bradford were confident following three wins
0:56:09 > 0:56:13from four and had plenty of chances. Watford were fortunate to survive
0:56:13 > 0:56:17Connell's shot and this subsequent penalty appeal. Tt Hornets thought
0:56:17 > 0:56:27they avoided upset when they were put ahead with 20 minutes to go.
0:56:27 > 0:56:41
0:56:41 > 0:56:49The first loan of his loan spell in the break they needed.
0:56:49 > 0:56:55On 84 minutes, Reid, released by Zola when both were at West Ham
0:56:55 > 0:57:01crashed home this equaliser. From Reid's free kick, Bond's poor punch
0:57:01 > 0:57:07fell straight to Thompson who netted an injury time winner.
0:57:07 > 0:57:10Bradford into the draw for the first time in 11 years. Conceded a
0:57:10 > 0:57:16good goal, it was a good strike. We looked on the pitch and got some
0:57:16 > 0:57:19good character there, we rolled our sleeves up, got rewards for gutsy
0:57:19 > 0:57:24performances. Bradford continue their start to the season. The draw
0:57:24 > 0:57:34for the third round was made earlier. We've had five all Premier
0:57:34 > 0:57:53
0:57:53 > 0:57:57League ties drawn out of the bag. we go, a reminder that the next
0:57:57 > 0:58:00football is on Saturday night. Join Gary for Match Of The Day at 10.10
