Lampard Boys dump Mourinho’s men out of Carabao Cup

Manchester United have been knocked out of the EFL Cup in the third round for the first time since 2008 courtesy of a penalty shootout defeat at the hands of Championship outfit Derby County last night.
Derby boss Frank Lampard got one over on his former mentor Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford on a memorable night for the Rams which will pile more pressure on the increasingly underfire United manager.
The hosts took the lead through Juan Mata after only three minutes, but a goal-of-the-season contender from Harry Wilson levelled things up in the second half before United were reduced to 10 men when goalkeeper Sergio Romero handled the ball outside his area.
Jack Marriott seemed to have set the Rams on course for victory with an 85th-minute header, but United took full advantage of six minutes of injury time as Marouane Fellaini nodded home an equaliser from close range in the fifth added minute to rescue a penalty shootout.
However, it only proved to be a temporary reprieve as Phil Jones saw his spot kick saved after 15 successful penalties in a row, securing Derby’s first win at Old Trafford since 2001.
