(Reuters) - Goals by Anwar El Ghazi and Ahmed Elmohamady saw Aston Villa edge Midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 to reach the quarter-finals of the League Cup on Wednesday.
Five-time winners Villa led at halftime when El Ghazi's close-range shot sneaked past keeper John Ruddy but Patrick Cutrone equalised in the 54th minute.
Villa reclaimed the lead three minutes later when Elmohamady flicked in Henri Lansbury free kick.
