Thursday Worthington
Cup action
Tottenham were forced to endure an hour of frustration before they finally
broke the Torquay resistance to progress to the third round of the Worthington
Cup at White Heart Lane on Thursday evening. However, there was also some
bad news for Hoddle, who had to watch defender Gary Docherty stretched off
after just 11 minutes with a suspected broken leg following a clumsy tackle
from Eifion Williams.
Wednesday Worthington Cup action
Micah Hyde capped a remarkable Watford comeback with the last-minute
winner at Bristol City.Goals from Simon Clist and former Luton hitman
Tony Thorpe had put the Robins into a commanding Second Round lead, only
for Gianluca Viall's men to stage a late rally with three goals in the last
18 minutes.
Nottingham Forest came through a mammonth clash with Stockport,
eventually winning 8-7 on penalties. Paul Hart's young side had a dream
start when Jack Lester fired them ahead on eight minutes only for Scott
Taylor to level before half-time.Stockport then had Lee Jones sent off midway
through the second half, but held on for another 57 minutes - only to lose
their nerve from 12 yards and crash out.
Managerless Coventry's eventful week almost took a turn for the very
worst as they needed a last-minute equaliser from Lee Carsley to avoid defeat
at Peterborough. Player-coach Roland Nilsson looked set to start his reign
with an ignominious cup exit as Richard Forsyth (56) and a bizarre own goal
from Marcus Hall (88) - who had had the ball punched against his back and
over the line by keeper Magnus Hedman - left them trailing 2-1 with seconds
left. Only then did Carsley come up trumps, firing through a crowded box
to add to force extra-time. The added 30 minutes brought no further goals
and Coventry eventually squeezed through 4-3 on penalties.
Manchester City needed extra-time strikes from frontmen Darren Huckerby
and PauL Dickov to see off the challenge of Notts County. Chris Shuker
piut Kevin Keegan's men ahead before former City man Danny Allsopp's penalty
(66) and a Mark Stallard goal (69) put the Magpies ahead. Shaun Goater levelled
just five minutes from the end of normal time before the extra-time double
sealed a 4-2 win for City.
Two goals in the last two minutes from Lee Jones (88) and Bruce Dyer (90)
gave Sheffield United a 3-1 win at Colchester, while a double
from Robbie Blake helped Bradford City romp to a 4-0 win in the Yorkshire
derby at Rotherham.
Renowned cup fighters Tranmere produced the shock of the round as
goals from Sean Flynn, Jason Koumas, Stuart Barlow and Nicky Mellon saw
them beat Division One Preston 4-1.
West Brom needed extra-time to overcome plucky Swindon Town
2-0.
Tuesday Worthington Cup action
Fulham had Rufus Brevett to thank as they escaped an early exit at Rochdale
on a busy night of Worthington Cup action. Brevett hit a last-gasp equaliser
to force the dreaded lottery after Kevin Townson had put the Third Division
side into a 2-1 lead. Jean Tigana's team eventually prevailed 6-5 on penalties.
West Ham were the prize scalp of the evening. The Premiership side
lost their second-round tie to Reading on penalties after a goalless
draw at the Madejski Stadium.
Bolton were another top-flight club to sneak past lower-league opponents.
The Premiership leaders edged past Walsall 4-3 at the Reebok Stadium
where Danish striker Henrik Pedersen grabbed a 97th-minute winner.
Coventry too lived to fight another day after Lee Carsley's last-minute
shot forced a 2-2 draw at Peterborough. The Sky Blues were victorious
in the shoot-out, 4-2.
Manchester City needed extra time to negotiate Notts County
4-2 at Meadow Lane.
Southampton won for the first time under boss Stuart Gray - 3-0 at
Brighton - and Steve McClaren's Middlesbrough overcame Northampton
3-1 with a goal from debutant David Murphy.
Monday Worthington Cup action
Ade Akinbiyi's first goal since April eased the pressure on manager Peter
Taylor as a nervous Leicester beat Blackpool 1-0 in the Second
Round of the Worthington Cup on Monday.
