Carabao Cup clockwatch: Birmingham v Fulham, Everton v Doncaster and more – live | Carabao Cup


Key events

Goal! Crystal Palace 3-0 Norwich (Mateta, 68)

Eze was like Guehi a surprise selection considering transfer interest but he sets up the hitman supreme. Norwich fans eyeing the long trip home.

Billy Sharp, once the 21st century’s most prolific striker in English football – Harry Kane took that accolade – is making himself busy at Goodison for Donny.

Goal! Brighton 4-0 Crawley (Mark O’Mahony, 86)

Brighton’s other Irish striker, and one who Roberto de Zerbi rated, delivers a cool finish for his first senior goal. Another Brighton youngster!

Goal! Harrogate 0-5 Preston 5 (Milutin Osmajic 83, hat-trick)

A lovely finish to complete that treble.

Goal! Brighton 3-0 Crawley (Adam Webster, 84)

From six yards, the big defender nods down and Fabian Hurzeler can do no wrong. He’s 31, you know. When will Chelsea make their move?

The games between Barrow and Derby – at 0-0 and QPR v Luton – 1-1 –are going to penalties.

Goal! Grimsby 1-4 Sheff Wed (Callum Paterson 81)

Goal! Everton 3-0 Doncaster (Beto, 84)

This time, the big striker, who has worked hard all evening, gets on the scoresheet. Relief for Sean Dyche.

Goal! Blackburn 1-2 Blackpool (Hayden Coulson 77)

A real comeback from a team under the interim management of Richard Keogh.

Goal! Crystal Palace 2-0 Norwich (Jean-Philippe Mateta, 57)

The supplier of the first scores the second with such a neat finish, a player in the form of his life after being so good at the Olympics.

Goal! Walsall 3-2 Huddersfield (Michal Helik Og 77)

The comeback complete against the ten men.

Remember: the games at 0-0 at full-time go to penalties. A few remain in the balance.

Goal! Blackburn 1-1 Blackpool (Jake Beesley 72)

Goal! Watford 2-0 Plymouth (Mileta Rajovic 72)

Goal! Everton 2-0 Doncaster (Iliman Ndiaye, 74)

He looks the player who can make a difference, the former Sheffield United man.

Goal! Leicester 3-0 Tranmere (Wilfred Ndidi, 71)

Steve Cooper’s first win secured by the long-serving midfielder.

Goal! Walsall 2-2 Huddersfield (Nathan Lowe 70)

Goal! Grimsby 1-3 Sheff Wed (Callum Paterson 72)

Doncaster are pushing on and the home fires are beginning to groan at Goodison. Dear Ashley Young made a mistake and was booked after 30 seconds to follow his red on opening day, but the League Two club can’t take advantage.

For Everton, still leading Doncaster 1-0, Beto has just missed a header that was going begging. It was a lovely cross from the lively Iliman Ndiaye.

Goal! Shrewsbury 0-2 Bolton (Dion Charles 65)

Goal! Walsall 1-2 Huddersfield (Nathan Lowe 63)

The ten men may be under pressure for the conclusion to that game. Lowe had missed a penalty but now Walsall are back in it.

Full-time: Middlesbrough 0-5 Stoke City

Remember the names: Lewis Koumas and Million Manhoef, who both scored in Stoke’s biggest away win in 70 years.

My colleague Tom Davies on the Leyton Orient haters, such as they are: “Southend and Orient have traditionally had beef over the years, though mutual sympathy at our clubs’ respective ownership crises in the past decade has muted it somewhat. Stevenage seemed to get very excited at playing us when Steve Evans was in charge.”

Goal! Grimsby 1-1 Sheff Wed (Ike Ugbo 53)

Goal! Leicester 2-0 Tranmere (Stephy Mavididi Pen 51)

It looked soft, a foul on Pereira and up steps the winger. Leicester cruising through.

Goal! Everton 1-0 Doncaster (Tim Iroegbunam, 53)

A first Everton goal of the season, and it came from the new signing, swept in from teh edge of the box.

Goal! Brighton 2-0 Crawley (Jeremy Sarmimento, 48)

The Fabian Hurzeler dream continues, and what a goal, and from another youngster, his first goal in a Brighton shirt.

Back underway in the 7.45pms we go

No shocks so far…but let’s see.

Brighton transfer news, though we await the latest on poor Matt O’Riley.

Tim Smith gets in touch: “No news of the Millwall-Orient game. Any needle between these clubs (more than what is the norm for Millwall against anyone)? I cannot recall them playing each other. I see the O’s are a goal up which I’m sure is going down well with the locals.”

Does anyone have any beef with Orient? The Daggers?

Peter Oh gets in touch: “I’m pretty sure Brighton are going to be among the hipsters’ favourites this season. As REM presaged, Everybody Hürz(eler).”

So does Mary Waltz: “John, greetings from California. I guess I could be happy Everton isn’t trailing at halftime. Gawd, this is going to be a long slog this year. Sigh.” James Garner hit the post, but not great.

Graham Randall on Steve Cooper: “Not really impressed with the team he has put out for Leicester tonight. Very dull.”

Goal! Middlesbrough 0-5 Stoke (Million Manhoef 69)

Big trouble for Michael Carrick here after a slow start to the season.

Goal! Harrogate Town 0-3 Preston (Milutin Osmajic 39)

Goal! Leicester 1-0 Tranmere (Jordan Ayew, 38)

A first Leicester goal for new signing Ayew in the 2000 final reunion. This time, Joe Murphy had no chance. This was a beauty, edge of the box and wallop…

Goal! Harrogate 0-2 Preston (Sam Greenwood, pen 37)

The news from Goodison is two shots on goal, and both by Doncaster players. Beto meanwhile is at it hammer and tongs with the Donny defenders.

A couple of injuries at Selhurst, with Chadi Riad limping off for Palace, and Amankwah Forson for Norwich. Palace have a goal disallowed, too, Eze looked to have scored a beauty but the offside flag was off. Forson needed oxygen – a dislocated shoulder.

Goal! Brighton 1-0 Crawley (Simon Adringra, 31)

Set up by Carlos Baleba, and against the run of play, and Brighton are ahead.

Goal! Birmingham 0-2 Fulham (Stansfield, 14)

The player who did so well for Blues last season on loan has scored, and rather too easily.

Goal! Fleetwood Town 2-1 Rotherham (Ryan Graydon 29)

Transfer news, Liverpool sign someone….a goalie.

We have reached an agreement for the transfer of Giorgi Mamardashvili, subject to a work permit and international clearance – with the Valencia goalkeeper set to move to Anfield ahead of the 2025-26 season 🙌🔴

At the Amex, the word is that the better team from Sussex is Crawley. That’s what 11 changes can do to a team. Has anyone mentioned that Brighton’s manager is 31?

Goal! Birmingham 0-1 Fulham (Raul Jimenez, 9 pen)

The Premier League team take the lead, after a handball from a Tom Cairney shot. The Mexican veteran steps up to slot home.

Jordan Pickford has just been asked to make his first save as Doncaster build up a head of steam. Gibson’s free-kick asked the England man to make the save.
