Young Gunners send Baggies crashing out
Arsenal's young Gunners booked a place in round four of the Carling Cup following their 2-0 victory over 10-man West Brom at the Emirates Stadium.[LNB] Sanchez Watt opened the scoring just after the hour as the Baggies were eventually undone following the first-half sending off of midfielder Jerome Thomas, who once played for Arsenal.[LNB] Mexican striker Carlos Vela added a second from close range.[LNB] Jordan Henderson and Fraizer Campbell dumped Birmingham out as Sunderland coasted into the fourth round following their 2-0 victory.[LNB] Teenager Henderson scored his first senior goal for the club with just four minutes gone, and when Campbell matched his feat 19 minutes later, the game was effectively over.[LNB] John Mensah had a second-half strike chalked off for a foul, but the Black Cats never looked back on a night when they were simply too strong for the visitors.[LNB] Portsmouth recovered from a disastrous start to overcome Carlisle 3-1 and relieve some of the pressure on manager Paul Hart.[LNB] Around 600 Portsmouth fans were rewarded for their 750-mile round trip to Brunton Park with a win, but nobody was more relieved at the final whistle than Hart, whose job looked to be on the line when Ian Harte put the League One side a goal up from the penalty spot after only two minutes.[LNB] Aaron Mokoena was the guilty party after needlessly hauling down Richard Offiong, but Pompey regained their composure quickly and strikes from Aruna Dindane, Danny Webber and Anthony Vanden Borre - all their first for the club - sealed a morale-boosting 3-1 victory.
