Printable version Leicester 1-4 West Brom **A blunder from Leicester keeper Conrad Logan helped West Brom come out on top in their fourth round Carling Cup tie.**Simon Cox dinked over Logan to put the Baggies ahead before the Foxes levelled when Nicky Shorey turned a Paul Gallagher cross into his own net. But Logan fluffed a hopeful ball forward from the visitors and left Somen Tchyoi a simple finish to score. Steven Reid added to the West Brom lead with a header and a long range Cox strike secured their victory. West Brom are sixth in the Premier League after a win over Fulham last Saturday and manager Roberto Di Matteo chose to give the team that earned that win a rest as he made 11 changes. Leicester counterpart Sven-Goran Eriksson made eight changes and, although his side made the better start, the Foxes soon found themselves behind. Giles Barnes sent a Baggies cross to the far post where Tchoyi passed to Roman Bednar and his effort found its way to Cox, who produced a lovely finish to dink the ball over on-rushing keeper Logan with aplomb. The goal opened the game up and, while the pace of Lloyd Dyer provided a threat for Leicester, it was the visitors who started to take a stranglehold of the match. Midfielder Graham Dorrans was looking an assured figure for Di Matteo's men and he produced a delightful ball to find an unmarked Bednar, whose header was tipped over by Logan. However, Leicester were back on level terms when a Gallagher ball across the face of the Baggies goal was put into his own net by substitute Shorey. The home side were level for only nine minutes before a West Brom ball inexplicably spooned off Logan's gloves and fell for Tchoyi, who was recently gifted a goal against Manchester United after keeper Edwin van der Sar spilled a cross and was again the beneficiary of a mistake as he scored to put the Baggies ahead again. Reid had been an influential figure for the Premier League side and he got the goal his performance deserved when he headed in a corner at the far post. And Cox showed his finishing prowess when he powered in a long range strike, which might have taken a deflection off Yuki Abe, to put the Di Matteo's men into the quarter-finals. Leicester manager Sven-Goran Eriksson: "Of course it's a mistake [by Logan], everyone knows that and he knows that. "That happens in football, but the third or fourth goals were worse. "You know goalkeepers sometimes make mistakes, it was unlucky. "You can imagine how you feel when it's an important game, it's 1-1 when we are in the game and we have a good chance to win it. "It happens in football, but he will not sleep very well tonight." West Brom assistant manager Eddie Newton: "We're just as aghast as well, we don't know what's going on, but if that keeps happening for him [Tchoyi] he might be starting week in, week out. "I'm very pleased, it's a fantastic result. I'm very pleased with the performance in both aspects of defending and attacking."
