Carling Cup Round of 16 Results

Manchester United 3  Wolverhampton 2--  Javier Hernandez scored the second game winning goal in less than a week as the Red Devils won in the final minute of regulation to move to the quarterfinals of the Carling Cup tournament.  7 million pound transfer Bebe scored his first goal of his English career with Park Ji-Sung scoring the other goal for Man U.

Ispwich Town 3  Northampton Town 1-- Cinderella's run finally came to an end with a 3-1 loss to Ispwich.  Northampton scored the first goal but could not weather the storm as Ispwich scored the game winning goal right before the half with a 44' goal by Damien Delaney.  Tamas Priskin put in the insurance goal in the 88th minute to send Ispwich to the quarterfinals.

Wigan Athletic 2  Swansea City 0--  Wigan was able to keep their streak of good play going with an easier than thought win versus Swansea.  6 million pound Argentian transfer Mauro Boselli scored in the 51st minute with an insurance goal in the 90' by Ben Watson. 

West Bromwich 4  Leicester City 1--  West Brom steamed forward with a dominating 4-1 victory over Leicester City.  All 5 goals were scored by Brom with an own goal scored by Nicky Shorey in the 53rd minute.  Cox scored the opener and the final goal of the day with an impressive 2 goal game. 

Birmingham 1 Brentford 1  Birmingham wins via PK 4-3-- In the most even match of the game, Birmingham slid by with a 4-3 PK win over Brentford.  Brentford played an impressive match stonewalling the Blues every chance and almost pulling off the upset until Kevin Phillips scored at the very end of regulation to tie it up.  No one really got the upper hand in the overtime sessions and the quality of Birmingham showed in winning the PK.
