Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 Newport County

Nouha Dicko scored 15 goals in 40 appearances for Wolves last season

Wolves came from behind to beat Newport County and seal a place in the second round of the League Cup.

Scott Boden gave League Two Newport the lead with an unmarked header from five yards after just six minutes.

The hosts equalised when Nouha Dicko flicked Sheyi Ojo's cross past Joe Day.

Wolves then made it 2-1 when Benik Afobe converted a penalty after he had been fouled by Scott Barrow, before Danny Holmes forced a decent save from Wolves keeper Emiliano Martinez.

Victory saw Wolves seal a place in the second round of the League Cup for the first time in three seasons.

Newport manager Terry Butcher told BBC Radio Wales Sport: "I'm not quite proud, I'm very proud.

It was a fantastic performance considering we had three men out from Saturday, changed the system around.

"The players liked that system and they made it work very well.

"I gambled in the end and threw on two 18 year-olds and a 17-year-old so I went for it.

"But generally I thought they were absolutely tremendous, they really were full of heart.

"We wanted them to be brave and they certainly were."
