Substitute Yoann Folly's last-gasp strike helped Sheffield Wednesday avoid a Carling Cup scare against League One Hartlepool with a 2-1 second round win. The midfielder latched onto a loose ball in the box from Deon Burton's cross in the last minute of extra time to give Brian Law's men a deserved win.
Earlier, Ian Moore slammed home the opener from James Brown's cross, before Burton levelled with a neat finish.
Keeper Jan Budtz then kept the Pool in it until Folly's winner.
