SOCCER NZPA-Reuter London The striker, Colin Gordon, scored twice as the division two strugglers, Reading, overcame the high-flying Chelsea in the second round of the English League Cup. Gordon was actually outshone by Chelsea’s Gordon Durie, who netted all three goals in the first division club’s 3-2 second leg win, but that was not enough to save his side from a 5-4 aggregate defeat against a team lying second from the bottom of its division. Tottenham Hotspur, one place above Chelsea in third spot in the first division, beat Torquay, of the fourth division, by three goals to complete a 3-1 aggregate win with the In-form Belgian international, Nico Claesen, scoring two goals.

The second division Swindon, promoted last season,

moved into the third round with an impressive 3-1 win against Portsmouth which gave it a 6-2 over-all victory.
