ENGLISH LEAGUE CUP 1st ROUND
Venue: BRUNTON PARK
CARLISLE UNITED 0 DERBY COUNTY 2
Scorers: Hendrick, Martin
Just like last season we attended the first match of the English League Cup. Steve McLaren brought his much fancied Championship side to Carlisle and done a thoroughly professional job on their League Two opponents.
Carlisle did have their moment when a terrific free kick crashed off the crossbar in the second half just before Derby took the lead.
The player who impressed most on the night was Derby's Simon Dawkins.

This was the second occasion seeing Derby and like the first they beat a United team 2-0 away! (Previous Derby match: 1989 Manchester United 0 Derby County 2)
