Capital One Cup roundup: Wolverhampton Wanderers, Wigan Athletic stunned

Sports Mole rounds up this evening's action from the first round of the Capital One Cup.

Northampton Town produced a shock 3-2 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the first round of the Capital One Cup. The League Two side had let slip a two-goal lead, but Lawson D'Ath's late strike sent them through.

Burton Albion also pulled off one of the surprises of the evening, by beating Wigan Athletic 2-1. Marc-Antoine Fortune had put the Championship side ahead, but goals either side of half time from Dominic Knowles and Stuart Beavon dumped the Latics out of the Cup.

The most incredible scoreline of the evening came from East London, where Brentford beat Dagenham & Redbridge 4-2 on penalties, following a 6-6 draw.

Penalties were also needed to separate Plymouth Argyle and Leyton Orient. Following a 3-3 draw at Home Park, it was Orient who would triumph, winning 6-5 in the shootout.

Brighton & Hove Albion claimed a 2-0 win against Cheltenham United thanks to second-half strikes from Lewis Dunk and Craig Mackail-Smith.
