Carling Cup results: Sheffield Wednesday lose to Rotherham United, Huddersfield Town blitz Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers crash out
THERE are two Yorkshire derbies in tonight's Carling Cup first round ties.
Sheffield Wednesday lost to Rotherham United on penalties at Hillsborough and Huddersfield Town hammered West Yorkshire rivals Bradford City 4-0 at the Galpharm Stadium.
Two goals inside a minute capped an electrifying start at Hillsborough, Etienne Esajas opening for the Owls before Alex Rhodes equalised. The game always looked like penalties would decide it, even before extra-time goals from Esajas and Reuben Reid. Esajas was the unlucky Owl to miss his spot-kick as the Millers took the scalp of their city neighbours.
Leeds United went goal crazy at troubled Chester, banging in five in the first half, Jermaine Beckford netting a hat-trick, with Robert Snodgrass and Andy Robinson finding the target to lead 5-1 after 45 minutes. Ryan Lowe replied twice for Chester as they held out at 5-2.
Two penalties from Anthony Elding and Michael O'Connor saw Barnsley become giantkilling victims at Crewe, in stark contrast to last season's run to the FA Cup semi-finals.
In the Yorkshire derby between the Terriers and Bantams, the hosts triumphed 4-0 thanks to second-half strikes from Gary Roberts (2), Jon Worthington and Williams, while Doncaster Rovers went down 1-0 after extra-time at Notts County.
