Carabao Cup: Grimsby Knock Out Manchester United on Penalties
Manchester United suffered a shocking Carabao Cup exit at the hands of League Two side Grimsby Town, losing 12-11 on penalties after a dramatic 2-2 draw in regulation time.
The hosts stunned United early on, racing to a 2-0 lead by the 30th minute. Despite a late fightback, with goals in the 75th and 89th minutes forcing a shootout, Erik ten Hag’s side crumbled in the spot-kicks.
Grimsby held their nerve in an extraordinary penalty marathon, converting all but one, while United faltered to hand the fourth-division side a famous victory.
