CARLING CUP: Wolves 2-1 Southend A.E.T.

Southend United were left heartbroken after an injury time goal in extra time from Wolves dumped the plucky League Two side out of the Carling Cup.

The Blues – who currently sit third from bottom in League Two – held the Premier League side – at Molineux – for more than 120 minutes.

The home side – who are 7th in the top division – took the lead on 27 minutes when Serbian international Nenad Milijas dispatched a penalty past Glenn Morris.

But Southend – who more than held their own – equalised on 80, when Craig Easton scored for the visitors.

The game went into extra time, with both sides having chances.  But it was the home side who finally made the breakthrough in injury time of extra time when Richard Stearman put Wolves through to the third round with virtually the final kick of the game.
