Carabao Cup Roundup: Crystal Palace & Norwich City Knocked Out as 6 Premier League Teams Win

​An eventful Tuesday evening in the second round of the Carabao Cup saw Premier League side Norwich City dumped out of the competition on the road to League Two Crawley Town, while Crystal Palace were knocked out in a penalty shootout.

Beryly Lubala's first-half strike proved to be too much for Daniel Farke's rotated side to come back from at Broadfield Stadium, with the likes of Teemu Pukki missing from the matchday squad in favour of a number of debutants.


Crystal Palace were held to a 0-0 draw by Colchester United at Selhurst Park, but Andros Townsend missed their opening penalty kick in the shootout while the League Two outfit had a 100% record from 12 yards.
