    Seb Revan (90+3 mins)

    The action keeps coming! What a goal this is, Seb Revan gets forwards on the left and makes the overlap before firing in low and hard. It all kicks off in the goalmouth as players wrestle for the ball...

    Sheffield United 4-1 Wrexham

    Chris Wathan

    The home fans are enjoying this now. As is Chris Wilder, who must be feeling pretty smug about making 11 changes and still getting a relatively comfortable win to go with it.

  10. CLOSE!published at 21:43 British Summer Time 13 August

    Sheff Utd 3-1 Wrexham

    Still the best part of 10 minutes left in our 8pm kick-off and Sheffield United look very good now.

    Andre Brooks, who impressed against Preston on opening night, has just come on as a sub and nearly makes it 4-1 but his shot is well saved.

    Cambridge 1-2 QPR

    Defensive fragility cost Cambridge in what was otherwise a fairly even encounter.

    Michael Frey's powerful shot from the edge of the box gave QPR the lead, before Paul Smyth tapped home after a goalkeeping error from Cambridge's Jack Stevens.

    The U's rallied to respond and that paid dividends when Paul Digby pulled a goal back.

    They then missed a series of a great chances as the visitors held on for a narrow victory.

  12. 'The Derby substitutes changed the game'published at 21:43 British Summer Time 13 August

    FT: Derby 2-1 Chesterfield

    Lee Turnbull
    Former Chesterfield striker on BBC Radio Sheffield

    Good game of football.

    Derby came out of the blocks sharper than Chesterfield. It looked like they were odds on to score first with the amount of possession but then Armando Dobra came up with a bit of magic. Chesterfield then grew into the game.

    It was the substitutions in the second half that made the difference; the quality of players like Nathaniel Mendez-Laing that changed the game. When the second goal went in, it was fairly comfortable for Derby to see out the game.

    Chesterfield played well and stuck to their principals, they just came up against a better team.

    Swansea 3-1 Gillingham

    Lively winger Ronald was the best player on the night as he curled in a delightful shot for Swansea's opening goal, having nearly set up Zan Vipotnik to score early on.

    With Euan Williams sent off for Gillingham early in the second half for a ferocious challenge, the match looked secure by the time that substitute Liam Cullen doubled the hosts' advantage.

    Oliver Hawkins headed in for the Gills late on, but Azeem Abdulai hit the visitors with a sucker punch as they tried to mount a comeback.

    Stevenage give Norwich a late scare but in the end the Canaries make it through to the second round.

    The game jumped into life with four goals after a tepid 25 minutes, with Norwich twice taking the lead, to be pegged back through Louis Appere's stoppage time equaliser.

    But a second goal of the night from Onel Hernandez three minutes into the second half was consolidated by Borja Sainz, who scored his side's fourth of the night.

    Brad Hills' own goal gave Stevenage hope at the end but Norwich hold on to get their name in the hat.

    Ruben Colwill (90+1 mins)

    Bristol Rovers have pushed forward, allowing gaps to open up in their defence.
