EFL Cup: Northampton Town 1-3 Manchester United LIVE EFL Cup updates: Marcus Rashford scores AGAIN as Jose Mourinho's side pull clear



The beleagured Man Utd striker thought he’d scored there, after a powerful header by Fosu-Mensah cracked back off the bar and fell in his path.
He headed the ball home, but it won’t count. Things continue to get worse before they get better for Rooney.

FT: Northampton Town 1-3 Manchester United

Full-time EFL Cup results

Here are all the final scores from tonight’s EFL Cup games:
  • Fulham 1-2 Bristol CIty
  • Northampton 1-3 Man Utd
  • QPR 1-2 Sunderland
  • Southampton 2-0 Crystal Palace
  • Swansea 1-2 Man City
  • West Ham 1-0 Accrington
  • Stoke 1-2 Hull
  • Tottenham 5-0 Gillingham

Hull leave it late to as Henriksen gives them the lead (2-1)

Right at the death, there, Markus Henriksen has spared us any stoppage time by firing Hull ahead at the bet365 Stadium.
He smashed it into the net from close range to dash Stoke’s hopes of progressing to the fourth round.
Speaking off... you can follow the draw as it unfolds right here.

West Ham's Payet saves Hammers at the death (1-0)

Dmitri Payet has spared West Ham extra time with a late, late, last-gasp free-kick.
The Frenchman stepped up again when his team really needed him and spared Hammers blushes.
That’s enough to give them a 1-0 win against Accrington Stanley.

Swansea pull back a consolation goal

The Swans have reduced the deficit at the Liberty Stadium.
It’s now 1-2 against Manchester City thanks to Sigurdsson’s late goal.
But it’s a case of too little too late for the hosts.

Someone's not happy for Rashford!

Technically, you know, he did smash it in. He may have been just a foot away from the open goal...

Spurs are running riot now, as Lamela makes it 5-0

This is getting out of hand for Gillingham now.
Lamela makes it 5-0.

Spurs make it four with no reply (4-0)

It’s now 4-0 at White Hart Lane, where Tottenham are now putting on a show against Gillingham.
This time, it’s Joshua Onomah with his name on the scoresheet.
The youngster slotted home for his first senior goal with a really smart finish.
Rashford has been impressive again since coming on.

McNair scores again to give Sunderland the lead (2-1)

What were the odds on a Paddy McNair double at Loftus Road?
I don’t have time to look it up, but I’ll take a wild guess they were long.
Still the defender’s done just that, scoring his second goal to give Sunderland the lead against QPR.
Clearly, he’s one man who wants David Moyes to stay at the Stadium of Light.

Herrera's strike to give United the lead

He hit it clean and true.

GOAL

Goal! Northampton 1-3 MAN UTD (Rashford)

That should be enough to see United through to the fourth-round draw.
It’s another goal for Rashford, but this one was a bit calamitous.
The Northampton keeper was in two minds about whether or not to come for a long ball played by Herrera.
He got completely caught in no-man’s land allowing Rashford to round him and fire home into an empty net.
In the minutes leading up to the goal, Schneiderlin was booked for a foul on Hoskins.

Has McNair saved Moyes? It's 1-1 between Sunderland and QPR

Paddy McNair may have just relieved some of the pressure on manager David Moyes.
He’s levelled things at Loftus Road with his first Sunderland goal.
And what a time to get it!

Spurs make it three and easy

This time its a penalty for Tottenham.
But instead of going for his hat-trick, Eriksen lets Janssen take it.
The Dutch striker sends Nelson the wrong way.
GOAL

Goal! Northampton 1-2 MAN UTD (Herrera)

Phew, Mourinho breathes a sigh of relief as Ander Herrera restores his side’s delicate lead.
He was quiet in the first half, but the Spaniard has been much better after the break.
Some good work by Rashford as he sets up the midfielder, who drills a low shot home from the edge of the box.

Saints two to the good at Selhurst Park

Southampton have also doubled their lead at Selhurst Park.
It was Hesketh with the goal, putting the ball past Hennessey after the keeper had done well to deny Shane Long.

City cruising after Garcia doubles their lead (2-0)

The Premier League leaders are now two goals to the good.
This time, it’s Aleix Garcia with the goal, finishing off a Jesus Navas cross.

Eriksen at the double for Spurs (2-0)

The Dane has his second goal for Tottenham, who have room to breathe now against Gillingham.
It’s 2-0 now to the hosts after Lamela picks up the ball, drives forward and finds the No.8, who finishes through the legs of Nelson

QPR have the lead against Sunderland (1-0)

Speaking of miserable Manchester United managers, remember David Moyes?
He’s having a wretched time at Loftus Road, his Sunderland side are losing.
The opening came courtesy of Sandro, who fired home a close-range volley following a corner.

Herrera hits the post from distance!

Ander Herrera reminds everyone that he’s playing as well, by picking the ball out 30 yards out and firing in a daisy cutter.
It’s close.
But there’s just the small matter of the post, which stands firm.
Schneiderlin is down and in need of some treatment after a ‘robust’ challenge from O’Toole, who will do well to avoid a card there.

Is that Zlatan on for Northampton?

No, it’s O’Toole sporting an equally impressive man bun.
He comes on for Beautyman who looked knackered.
There’s a double change for United too, with the real Zlatan on for the disappointing Memphis and Rashford on for Fosu-Mensah in an attacking play by the manager.

Revell revels in his leveller

He sent Romero the wrong way.

Clichy gives City the lead with a rare goal (1-0)

As United continue to toil, City have taken the lead at the Liberty Stadium against Swansea City and it’s come from the most unlikely of places.
A Gaal Clichy deflection is a hell of a way to finish of a fine flowing attack by City.
YELLOW CARD

We're back underway at Sixfields...

...and McCourt is straight into the book for a foul on Memphis, who has been a bit anonymous, so far.
Another disappointing run-out for the Manchester United man so far.

Cobblers battle their way back after Carrick's opener

At the Sixfields Stadium, Northampton boss Rob Page will be thrilled that his side went into the break level.
They showed great character to fight back after going a goal down, the majority of their chances coming after Carrick’s strike.
Man Utd have their work cut out.

KEY EVENT

Half-time: Northampton 1-1 Man Utd

Who saw that coming?
Well, an early goal for Man Utd, yeah sure.
Wayne Rooney missing a hatful of chances, defo.
And Man Utd conceding given the week they’ve been having, yeah that too.
So all in all, that’s probably gone exactly according to script.
ReutersWayne Rooney shoots at goal
Now, what will Jose make of that and how will he change things around for the second half?
He didn’t look impressed after the leveller.

Eriksen fires Spurs into the lead against the mighty Gills

Christian Eriksen, Spurs captain for tonight, has given his side the lead.
And it’s a belter.
The Dane picks up the ball 25 yards out and sends it flying past Nelson, who can do nothing but watch in admiration.

Cobblers want a second penalty!

This time, it’s ROmero who the hosts feel has commited a foul inside the box.
But no, referee Stuart Attwell says he got the ball cleanly.
As soon as that goal went in, Marcus Rashford was told to go an start warming up immediately, according to Simon Peach.
Is Mourinho going to be ruthless and make an early change?
GOAL

Goal! NORTHAMPTON 1-1 Man Utd (Revell)

Oh my! It’s all level!
Blind conceded a penalty after bringing down Hoskins inside the box.
Revell steps up... and he doesn’t disappoint, sending Romero the wrong way!
It’s all square at Sixfields as the No.10 celebrates with tears in his eyes.
And before you ask. Definite pen!

Arnautovic gives Stoke the lead against Hull (1-0)

Marko Arnoautovic gives the Potters a lead at the bet365 Stadium.
He lets one fly from the edge of the box!
Excellent strike.

Ooh! Cobblers go close as Gorre hits the bar!

Gorre, who once plyed his trade for the United’s academy, just threatened to level the score at Sixfields.
He does well to lose Fosu-Mensah, twisting and turning before firing a shot which Romero does fantastically to tip onto the bar.

Austin gives Saints the lead against Palace (1-0)

Charlie Austin fires Southampton into the lead at Selhurst Park from the penalty spot.
But our man Ed Malyon says it was never a penalty.
You here? Never!

Rooney goal! No, he's offside isn't he?!

He headed the ball home, but it won’t count.
Things continue to get worse before they get better for Rooney.
