Karlan Grant also scored West Brom's goal in their draw against Watford on Monday
Substitute Karlan Grant's goal gave West Bromwich Albion victory over Championship rivals Sheffield United in the Carabao Cup to set up a second-round trip to Derby.
In an entertaining first half it was the away side who came closest to opening the scoring when Rhian Brewster's shot came back off the post.
Grant headed home the winner from Callum Robinson's cross just three minutes after coming on.
Robinson and Matt Phillips then both hit the crossbar in quick succession as the Baggies looked to make the win safe, but one goal proved enough.
There was some bad news for the victors though, with striker Grant forced off with an injury before the end of the match.
Steve Bruce's men, who have drawn their opening two league games this season, will travel to Pride Park on Tuesday, 23 August.
