Javier Hernandez scored his third goal in three days Tuesday to give Manchester United a 3-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers and continue his club's attempt to win a third straight League Cup title.

Wolves twice equalized with their first goals at Old Trafford since February 1980 but Hernandez, on as a substitute, dummied a defender and lifted the ball over the goalkeeper for a 90th-minute winner in the fourth round match.

Bebe and Park Ji-sung scored the other goals for United, which will be joined in the quarterfinals by Birmingham.

The Premier League club needed an injury-time equalizer before beating third-tier struggler Brentford 4-3 in a penalty shootout.
