Southampton Ease Past Sorry Bristol Rovers

Southampton easily beat Bristol Rovers with two goals from debutante Billy Sharp in the first round of the Carling Cup. Southampton were clear favourites from the start and the scoreline should have been more considering the chances they had. Bristol Rovers didn't trouble goalkeeper Kelvin Davis all night and were overall poor. Rudi Skacel started his first game back in a Southampton shirt and Ched Evans also got his first game for the south coast club.
