However, it was far from plain sailing for Leicester City at Adams Park, as they left it late to beat a hard-working Wycombe Wanderers side at Adams Park.

At the City Ground goals from Radoslaw Majewski, Greg Halford and Matt Derbyshire gave Nottingham Forest an emphatic victory over Hartlepool, though Colin Cooper's men would have been disappointed having spurned a collection of decent chances throughout the game.

Millwall passed their first test in the opening round of the Capital One Cup after battling past AFC Wimbledon at The Den.
