RESULTS AND


FIXTURES


LINCOLN boss Danny Cowley was
proud after his side rattled
Premier League Everton before
going out of the Carabao Cup.
Lincoln took a shock lead after 18
seconds through Harry Anderson
and levelled at 2-2 through Bruno
Andrade’s stunning volley.
But their opponents had too much
class and late headers from Alex
Iwobi and Richarlison won the tie.
‘I thought it was a really good
game and a good advert for the
competition’ said Cowley.
‘I’m proud Everton brought the
team they did and showed us the
respect they did.
‘I thought they were excellent and
played right at the top of their
game. The fact we stayed in the
game as well as we did was a
testament to us.’

Everton levelled through Lucas
Digne’s world-class free-kick and
Gylfi Sigurdsson made it 2-1 with a
second-half penalty before two
goals in the final 10 minutes saw
them home.
‘We knew it would be a difficult
competition and a big test,’ said
Everton manager Marco Silva.
‘It will be another tough match in
this competition against Sheffield
Wednesday next.
‘We will think about them when
we have to play them.’

S


TEVE BrucE, upon
his arrival at Newcastle
this summer, said he
did not understand
why managers rested
players in the cup competi-
tions, yet he made seven
changes last night — and lost.
In fairness, his much-changed side
did well to take the tie to penalties
— that is further than they normally
go in the carabao cup — and were
undone by two fine saves from
Kasper Schmeichel during the
shootout before Jamie Vardy netted
the winning spot-kick.
But the team-sheet did not go
down well with supporters who had
listened to the head coach’s vow to
try to win a cup. Bruce will argue his
changes were enforced but, had this
been a Premier League fixture, you
feel at least five of those
players left out would
have started.
Switching goal-
keeper Martin
Dubravka for
back-up Karl
Darlow said a
lot about
where Bruce’s
priorities lie,
especially with
Watford next up
in the league on
Saturday.
‘It was difficult
with the problems we
had,’ said Bruce, who left
out his £61million strikeforce of
Joelinton and Miguel Almiron. ‘I was
forced to make five, six changes,
which I didn’t want to do. I think
Joe and Miguel will be OK for Satur-
day though. It would have been
worse if I’d lost them, I hope they
will win us the game on Saturday.’
Previous bosses, including rafa
Benitez, have been heavily criticised
for refusing to prioritise a shot at
silverware. Indeed, Newcastle have
exited at this second-round stage of
the League cup in each of the past
three seasons and are yet to make it
beyond the fourth round of the FA
cup in 11 seasons of Mike Ashley
ownership.
Leicester boss Brendan rodgers,
though, had kept his promise of nam-
ing a strong XI and made just two
changes from the team which won at
Sheffield united on Saturday.
His argument is that Leicester
should be able to compete on multi-
ple fronts given they are not in Euro-
pean competition. And he is right,
especially with the season in its
infancy — why should players need a
rest in August? The only notion of
rotation for Leicester was when

rodgers sent out assistant chris
Davies to fulfil his post-match press
commitments.
Davies said: ‘That’s the intent we
showed with the line-up. It sent a
strong message out that we want to
do well in this competition.’
The visitors looked like a side who
had played together at the weekend,
enjoying nearly 70 per cent posses-
sion during a first half in which James
Maddison’s deflected free-kick gave

them a 34th-minute lead. Newcastle
were level eight minutes after half-
time. Fabian Schar loaded a ball
into the area from deep and Jetro
Willems, getting the wrong side of
ricardo Pereira, chested into the
path of Yoshinori Muto, who tucked
home from close range.
The hosts had lost Matt ritchie to
an ankle injury after a strong chal-
lenge from Hamza choudhury. And
Bruce was furious. He said: ‘Matt is

a mess. He’s got three cuts that
need stitches. It’s a horror challenge
— and the ref was five yards away.’
The loss of ritchie — and Willems
and Emil Krafth to muscle injuries
— compounded a frustrating night
for Bruce.
Jonjo Shelvey and Isaac Hayden
were the fall guys in the shootout,
leaving Tyneside to reflect on yet
another early exit in a cup
competition.

SEAN DYcHE’S cup ignominy
continued as Sunderland became
the latest unfancied side to inflict
embarrassment on Burnley.
The clarets have now been
dumped out of the carabao cup by
lower league opposition in each of
the manager’s last six seasons and
gallingly blew an early lead here.
Jay rodriguez put them up after
11 minutes but Sunderland, fourth
in League One under Jack ross,
equalised through Will Grigg in the
35th minute and took the tie away
from their Premier League hosts
straight after half time.
‘A head-scratcher,’ said Dyche.
‘We’ve had too many of those and
that is probably the biggest one.
The first five minutes of the second
half were unacceptable. A few
worked hard but we didn’t work
smart enough.’
Sunderland were ahead two

minutes after the break and Dyche’s
side were shell-shocked.
Joe Hart could only parry a
Lynden Gooch drive out into his
box and Tom Flanagan followed up
quickest to head beyond the former
England goalkeeper. Sunderland
ran rings around them from a short
corner moments later.
Burnley stood still as Gooch’s
set-piece was cleverly worked back
to George Dobson, 21, who calmly
passed into Hart’s left-hand corner.
ross said: ‘It was still a really good
Burnley side. We made eight changes
and should take pride in this.’
