Carling Cup first-half report: Henderson and Campbell put Black Cats in control

JORDAN Henderson and Fraizer Campbell both opened their Sunderland accounts as the Black Cats surged towards the Carling Cup fourth round. Teenager midfielder Henderson struck with just four minutes gone, and when £6m summer signing Campbell doubled his side's advantage 19 minutes later, Birmingham were in deep trouble. The visitors, who made seven changes to the side which started at Hull on Saturday, had only one effort of note, Gary McSheffrey's 19th-minute drive flying just wide.
