Carl Fletcher's reward for steering Plymouth Argyle to victory over Portsmouth in the Capital One Cup is a trip to Burnley in the second round and a chance to pit his managerial wits against his ex Bournemouth teammate Eddie Howe.
The Pilgrims defeated Portsmouth 3-0 with goals from Johnny Gorman, Paris Cowan-Hall and Nick Chadwick which ensured their passage into the next round.
Both Fletcher and Howe played together for the Cherries at the turn of the century and this connection proved useful to Fletcher last season when he brought Alex MacDonald to Home Park on loan from the Clarets.
Yeovil Town also joined the Pilgrims in the next round as they defeated fellow League One side Colchester United 3-0 at Huish Park. Defender Richard Hinds bagged a brace before Keanu Marsh-Brown added a third.
The Glovers will play host to Premiership side West Bromwich Albion in round two, a tie that will see new signing Reuben Reid face one of his former clubs.
Exeter City and Torquay United both exited the competition as they both succumbed to home defeats at hands of Championship opposition.
The Grecians were beaten 2-1 by Exeter City in a game that saw former City starlet Dean Moxey return to face his former club and Torquay went down 4-0 against a highly fancied Leicester City at Plainmoor.
