Mike Norman rounds up the In-Play odds matched on a dramatic night in Tuesday's five Capital One Cup last-16 matches...


Chelsea are through to the Capital One Cup quarter-finals after a 0-2 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium tonight, stretching Arsene Wenger's winless run against Jose Mourinho to nine games.

Cesar Azpilicueta gave the Blues the lead midway through the first half after a superb counter attack ended with the Spanish full-back latching on to an error from Gunners defender Carl Jenkinson. Azpilicueta - scoring his first goal in a Chelsea shirt - was matched at the monster price of 120.0119/1 in the First Goalscorer market.

Wenger introduced Mesut Ozil with half an hour remaining but within minutes Chelsea were two goals to the good and out of sight after Juan Mata smashed a shot into the top corner from just outside of the area.

Chelsea were matched at a high of 3.052/1 for the victory, while the 0-2 Correct Score was backed at 22.021/1.

Manchester United are also through to the last eight after a comfortable 4-0 victory over Norwich thanks to a brace from Javier Hernandez. The Mexican was matched at 5.59/2 to score first and at just 6.86/1 to score two goals or more.

Phil Jones - matched at 15.529/2 To Score anytime - got his first goal of the season with just minutes remaining and Fabio added a fourth in the 90th minute. David Moyes' men never went higher than 1.584/7 to win the game, and the 4-0 Correct Score was matched at 20.019/1.

Elsewhere tonight there were some tasty prices matched as Championship side Leicester beat Premier League outfit Fulham 4-3 at the King Power Stadium.

Hugo Rodallege - matched at 12.011/1 - opened the scoring for Martin Jol's men but two goals in the space of a few minutes gave the Foxes a 2-1 lead at the interval, a scoreline that was matched at 30.029/1 in the Half Time Score market.

Leicester went 3-1 up eary in the second half but were immediately pegged back to 3-2, and late in the game the Cottagers appeared to have taken the game into extra-time with a 85th minute equaliser.

But with just minutes remaining Lloyd Dyer won the game for Nigel Pearson's men much to the delight of the home faithful. Leicester were matched at 7.413/2 In-Play to win the game, while the Over 6.5 Goals option was matched 40.039/1.

The shortest price loser on the night was witnessed at St Andrews where nearly £10k was matched on Stoke at 1.011/100 as they led 10-man Birmingham with less than 10 minutes remaining (Match Odds markets are for 90 minutes only).

But two late goals from Peter Lovenkrands brought the home side level to send the game into extra-time. The Draw was matched at 90.089/1 when Stoke led 1-3, and the 3-3 Correct Score was backed at a high of 120.0119/1.

Finally, West Ham ended Burnley's excellent run with a 0-2 victory at Turf Moor. The Hammers hit a high of 6.411/2 to win the game.

After tonight's results Chelsea are the new 4.216/5 favourites to lift the trophy, while Manchester United can be backed at 4.67/2. Tottenham and Man City, who play tomorrow, can be backed at 5.24/1 and 6.411/2 respectively.
