Ben Davies' superb goal secured Sheffield United's first points of the season and ended Peterborough United's perfect start to the campaign
Premier League West Ham were knocked out of the Capital One Cup at home as League One Sheffield United won on penalties to reach the third round. This was the first meeting of the two sides since Sheffield United were relegated from the Premier League in 2007, largely thanks to Carlos Tevez's goals keeping West Ham up instead. However, it was later discovered Tevez's signing by the Hammers broke the rules on third-party ownership. The Premier League fined West Ham £5.5m and, after the Sheffield club unsuccessfully appealed to be reinstated to the league with West Ham relegated, a two-year legal wrangle ended with an out-of-court settlement reported to be in excess of £20m paid as compensation to the Blades.
