Soccer: Ice-cool striker sends Leeds out of League Cup

Chelsea's Icelandic striker Eidur Gudjohnsen sent bitter rival Leeds crashing out of the League Cup soccer competition yesterday with two sweetly struck second-half goals in a 2-0 win at Elland Rd.

The win takes Chelsea to the quarter-finals, and was the first home defeat since January by Leeds.

Struggling Sheffield Wednesday sprang the shock of the fourth round by ending Aston Villa's unbeaten home record with a 1-0 win, the goal coming from former Nigerian international Efan Ekoku's strike, five minutes before the interval. Blackburn Rovers beat 10-man Manchester City 2-0 to make the last eight.
