Baggies, Watford packed off
Print Edition
PREMIER League’s West Bromwich Albion and Watford were knocked out in the English League Cup second round by lower-league opponents on Tuesday as a strong Liverpool side crushed championship side Burton Albion 5-0.
West Brom lost 3-4 on penalties to Northampton Town following a 2-2 draw and Watford was beaten 1-2 at home after extra time by Gillingham Town, also a third-tier side.
Premier League clubs Chelsea, Everton, Stoke City, Crystal Palace, Swansea City and Hull City progressed, however.
Gillingham came from behind at Vicarage Road.
Substitute Odion Ighalo gave hosts Watford the lead in the second half but Mark Byrne equalized to take the tie into extra time and striker Bradley Dack grabbed the winner.
Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino gave Liverpool, last season’s beaten finalist, a 2-0 halftime lead at Burton before a Tom Naylor own goal and two late strikes by Daniel Sturridge completed the rout.
“This was a very serious, professional display from our side,” Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp said. “There were nice goals — nothing to criticize. It was humid today, not easy for either team.”
Chelsea looked on course for the third round when goals by Michy Batshuayi and Victor Moses gave it a 2-0 lead against Bristol Rovers at Stamford Bridge in London.
But Peter Hartley pulled one back and although Batshuayi restored the hosts’ two-goal advantage before the interval, Ellis Harrison’s second-half penalty for third-tier Rovers ensured a tense finale.
Everton forward Arouna Kone scored two late goals to round off a 4-0 win over Yeovil and former England striker Peter Crouch grabbed a hat-trick in Stoke’s 4-0 drubbing of hosts Stevenage.
Liverpool and Chelsea, League Cup winner in 2015, both entered the tournament in the second round because they are not involved in European competition this season. Manchester United, holder Manchester City, Arsenal, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton and West Ham United will all join in the third round.
