Four Carabao Cup fixtures were played tonight, all of which featured a Premier League club.
There were no cup upsets, though, as four sides from the top-flight progressed to the next stage of the competition; Newcastle United, Southampton, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City all saw out victories, with Gillingham, Lincoln City, Bournemouth and MK Dons on the losing side.
This week’s matches are the first club games played since November, with the past month being filled with exhilarating World Cup action. Argentina were crowned champions on Sunday evening.
