West Brom 4 Rotherham 3 (after extra time): Full time analysis
Simon Cox opened his West Brom account as the Coca-Cola Championship side finally saw off brave Rotherham after extra time in their Carling Cup second-round clash.
The League Two Millers actually led in the extra 30 minutes thanks to Tom Pope's volley, but the Baggies hit back to book their spot in the third round.
Craig Beattie's cross went straight in to give the Baggies the lead but Micky Cummins levelled for the visitors.
Graeme Dorrans put the Baggies back ahead, but Pope levelled almost straight away.
The former Crewe man then put his side in front for the first time in extra time, but Beattie grabbed his second before Cox's winner.
The Baggies made nine changes to the side which beat Ipswich at the weekend and it was the visitors who had the first effort on goal, with Nicky Law's shot forcing Dean Kiely in to action.
Cox had a shot blocked and the returning Roman Bednar was off target with a header before the Baggies went in front in the 10th minute with a freak strike from Beattie.
