 Dyer's injury marred West Ham's win |
West Ham moved into the third round of the Carling Cup but the win at Bristol Rovers was marred by the suspected broken leg suffered by Kieron Dyer. Dyer went down in agony following a tackle by Joe Jacobson after a few minutes and was taken off on a stretcher after lengthy treatement.
Craig Bellamy put the visitors ahead, blasting home from 25-yards.
Bellamy then raced onto a long ball to fire in the second but Andy Williams' fine run and finish made it 2-1.
