English League Cup - Norwich City 1 Sunderland 4:ANDY REID scored twice as Sunderland swept past League One Norwich at Carrow Road last night and into the third round of the League Cup.

Teemu Tainio scored after 26 minutes and then Reid netted twice to put the tie beyond Norwich before half-time. His first was a perfectly weighted chip over the goalkeeper and the second a side-footed effort into the top corner following a Frazier Campbell pass.

Wes Hoolahan reduced the deficit just after the hour, only for Owain Tudur Jones to deflect a corner into his own net.

Norwich finished with only nine men when defender Michael Spillane was sent off for a foul on Frazier Campbell and keeper Ben Alnwick was taken off injured after all subs were used.
