WINNING at Old Trafford? No prob-

lem. Beating a team 75 places below

you? Problem. Big problem.

This was quite the come down for

Crystal Palace following Saturday’s

heroics at Manchester United as

they crashed out of the Carabao Cup

on penalties to Colchester United.

Andros Townsend’s spot-kick —

the first of the shootout — was saved

by Dean Gerken before all remaining

nine penalties were scored,

with 18-year-old Noah

Chilvers coolly slotting home

the winner.

Palace boss Roy Hodgson,

who made 10 changes from

the United win, said: ‘I

believe the starting XI was

good enough to win the

game. They didn’t, because

they didn’t play well

enough.’ The cavalry arrived off the

Palace bench in the second half, but

not even Wilfried Zaha (left) was

able to save the hosts.

Colchester — 17th in League Two

— were more than a match for their

glamorous opponents.

‘I am very proud,’ said manager

John McGreal. ‘We hope this can

kickstart our season. We feel like

we are starting to click and we

showed that tonight. We didn’t

want to come here and just be a

sitting duck.’

ATHAN JONeS

hailed Jack But-

land’s character

for ‘showing a big

pair’ following the

england goalkeeper’s

latest howler.
Butland’s second-half gaffe
handed Leeds a lifeline after
Stoke had taken an unexpected
two-goal interval lead.
Leeds made the most of
recalled Butland’s error to force
a penalty shootout thanks to
goals from eddie Nketiah and
Helder Costa.
But Butland showed his bottle
by slotting home Stoke’s deci-
sive fifth penalty before Jack
Harrison struck a post with the
next spot kick to see the visitors
squeeze through to the last 32 of
the Carabao Cup.
Butland was among nine
changes for the visitors after
being axed following an error-
strewn display at Preston where
he handed North end two goals
in a 3-1 defeat.
Jones said: ‘Jack’s an england
international, he’s made some
big errors for us and has been
much chastised, but it shows
character to come back and he
did that taking the deciding
penalty.
‘I’m proud of him for that. He’s
an england international play-
ing in the Championship and
because of that, the media come
for him. He had to show great
character and a big pair — and
he did just that.
‘Of course he’s disappointed
with their first goal,’ he added.
Stoke, who are bottom of the
Championship after surrender-
ing 3-0 to Marcelo Bielsa’s league
leaders 72 hours earlier, looked

to be cruising after two goals in

five first-half minutes.

Danny Batth scored for the

first time in almost two years

with a towering header from

Sam Clucas’ 39th-minute

corner, the first goal Leeds had

shipped in almost seven hours.

Then Sam Vokes doubled the

lead with a near post finish.

But in the 67th minute,

Butland sent an attempted

clearance cannoning off team-

mate Cameron Carter-Vickers.

It fell to Nketiah and the on-loan

Arsenal forward shepherded the

ball into an empty net.

Costa forced penalties, arriv-

ing unmarked at the far post to

head home Leif Davis’ inviting

cross with nine minutes left.

Leeds boss Bielsa said: ‘We

created plenty of chances but

we didn’t take enough of them.’

WHEN the teams were read out and it

became clear that Norwich had a

completely new line-up, Crawley knew

there was a chance of a shock.

Norwich hit the post, then the bar, but

came up short on a frustrating evening

for the Premier League side.

Manager Daniel Farke made 11 changes

to the side that lost against Chelsea

and if last night acted as an audition

for the trip to West Ham on Saturday,

few have a chance of landing the part.

‘You have to accept this, it happens in

football,’ said Farke. ‘I am so

disappointed. In this moment it is not

up to me to punish the players for a

lack of quality.’

Crawley, sat 62 places below Norwich,

have in-form Bez Lubala to thank for

the goal. His strike from a corner went

in off Norwich striker Adam Idah.

‘You need luck, of course,’ Crawley

boss Gabriele Cioffi said. ‘The stadium

was rocking, the first time I came here

I had this vision. We can enjoy the luck

until midnight, then it’s back to work.’

(Stoke win 5-4 on penalties)

ASTON VILLA star Jack Grealish
demanded a run out at Crewe and
then turned in a devastating
cameo as the Premier League
side coasted into the third round.
With practically his first touch
after coming on in the 68th
minute, substitute Grealish’s
brilliance teed up Keinan Davis for
a tap-in which made it 4-0 before
his precise finish wrapped up the
scoring three minutes from time.
Manager Dean Smith joked: ‘I told
Jack I was bringing him here and
he made me bring him on to the
pitch. But I always planned to
bring Jack on. It was great for the
lads who haven’t played much so
far this season. I told them that
we are in the top four teams in

the history of this cup as we’ve

won it five times. I wanted to

make sure the attitude was right.’

Despite making 10 changes, Smith

saw his side take an early lead

through a header from debutant

Ezri Konsa before Conor Hourihane

added a shot and a header of his

own before the break.

French substitute Frederic

Guilbert was unmarked to slot

home Villa’s fifth before Ryan

Wintle’s accurate finish provided

a late consolation for Crewe.
