Cox sinks brave Rotherham.

SIMON COX opened his West Brom account as the Championship side saw off brave Rotherham after extra-time in their Carling Cup second-round clash.

The League Two Millers led in the extra 30 minutes thanks to Tom Pope's volley, but the Baggies hit back.

Craig Beattie's cross went straight in to give the Baggies the lead, but Micky Cummins levelled for the visitors.

Graeme Dorrans put the Baggies back ahead, but Pope levelled.

The former Crewe man then put his side in front for the first time in extra-time, but Beattie grabbed his second before Cox's winner.

Kevin Nolan fired Newcastle through as Geordie hero Lee Clark finished on the wrong end of a seven-goal thriller.

He snatched victory seven minutes from time to complete a rousing comeback by the Magpies.

The Championship pace-setters trailed 3-1 two minutes into the second half after Theo Robinson's double and Jordan Rhodes had more than cancelled out Danny Guthrie's opener.

But Geremi and sub Shola Ameobi, who converted a 64th-minute penalty for his fifth goal of the campaign, drew the home side level and set the stage for Nolan to win it at the death.

Tottenham's fringe players made the most of their chance in a thrilling win at Doncaster.

David Bentley, Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko all scored, with Tom Huddlestone and Jamie O'Hara joining them on the scoresheet. The only blemish for Spurs was a Martin Woods penalty.

New Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is enduring a baptism of fire in his first few weeks in the job.

The Spaniard saw his side ripped apart by Championship side Blackpool. Blackpool never looked back after taking the lead after three minutes through Ishmel Demontagnac.

They were 3-0 ahead at half-time with Ben Burgess and Charlie Adam also on target. Sub Gary Taylor-Fletcher grabbed a fourth in the second period.

Wigan grabbed a consolation goal in stoppage time through Antonio Amaya.
