League Cup round-up: Aldershot, Orient, Southampton progress

Aldershot, Leyton Orient and Southampton have all booked their place in the third round of the Carling Cup.

West Ham United's conquerors in the previous round, Aldershot, recorded a 2-0 home victory over Carlisle United courtesy of goals from Michael Rankine and Danny Livesey.

The Shots will now face a home tie against Rochdale in round three.

Orient were the winners by the odd goal in five against Bristol Rovers, with captain Stephen Dawson claiming a stoppage time winner at Brisbane Road.

There is to be no cup run for new Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio after his side lost 3-1 at home to Southampton. Striker Rickie Lambert was among the goals for the Saints.

The Championship side will entertain either Preston North End or Charlton Athletic in the next round.
