Wells and his Teammates Line Up before Play

NAHKI WELLS – HUDDERSFIELD

Midfielder Liam Noble scored two wonder goals as 10-man Notts County dumped Nahki Wells and his Sky Bet Championship teammates Huddersfield out of the Carling Cup in a 2-1 win.

Noble levelled the scores with a 25-yard strike on 42 minutes after Murray Wallace netted the opener for hosts Huddersfield in the 35th.

Kyle Da Silva romped down the left and pulled the ball back for Noble, who drilled low into the bottom left corner.

Noble's 56th-minute winner was an audacious 35-yard lob from the right touchline which drew applause from home fans.

Noble is one of the survivors of boss Ricardo Moniz's revolution at the relegated League Two side.

Gill Swerts, one of 18 summer recruits, was sent off for two yellow cards in five minutes mid-way through the second half.

The first was for a foul on Harry Bunn and the second was for a harsh-looking claim of handball on the edge of the box.

It is the second time County have had a player red-carded this season after Mawouna Amevor went for an early bath in the 2-0 win at Stevenage on Saturday.

Huddersfield took the lead on 34 minutes when Wallace headed in Bunn's corner when unmarked at the far post.

County keeper Roy Carroll tipped over long range drives from Bunn and Ishmael Miller early on and then parried a 25-yard volley from Wells on 87 minutes.

REGGIE LAMBE – MANSFIELD

Sheffield Wednesday reached the second round of the Capital One Cup with a dominant 4-1 victory over Reggie Lambe and his Mansfield Town teammates.

Lucas Joao opened the scoring for the home side with Jose Semedo doubling the advantage. Ryan Tafazolli gave the visitors a lifeline on the stroke of half-time, but a third goal from Kieran Lee and a fourth added by Modou Sougou secured the Owls' safe passage.

Wednesday opened the scoring in the 12th minute when Alex Lopez's free-kick found Joao unmarked at the edge of the six-yard box and he headed past Mansfield goalkeeper Scott Shearer.

Shearer was beaten again seven minutes later when Sougou's superb inswinging cross found Semedo, who ghosted in between two Mansfield players to head the ball home.

The visitors pulled one back just before the interval when a corner from Adam Chapman was met by the head of Tafazolli, who powered his header into the roof of the net.

The home side's third goal came in the 53rd minute. Joao's perfectly weighted through-ball put Lee through on goal and the midfielder showed composure to slot the ball beneath the onrushing Shearer.

Wednesday wrapped up the victory in the 83rd minute when Sougou met Jeremy Helan's low cross.
