Manchester United 0-3 Newcastle United
Manchester United are out of the Carabao Cup. Their trophy defence comes to an end at the fourth round stage as they were hammered by last year’s finalists Newcastle who put three goals past Andre Onana to secure their first win at Old Trafford in a decade.
The home side started off well enough, they controlled possession and took the first shot of the match but Newcastle slowly built their way into the game and began to control the midfield.
Miguel Almiron, introduced early due to an injury to Matt Targett, slotted the visitors ahead and they never looked back. Lewis Hall drilled in a volley to double their lead before Joe Willock nestled a side-footed effort home after the half-time break.
Liverpool 2-1 Bournemouth
Substitute Darwin Nunez fired Liverpool into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with a stunning second-half winner in a 2-1 success over Bournemouth at a blustery Vitality Stadium.
The in-form Uruguay forward had been on the pitch for just 10 minutes when he collected a pass from fellow replacement Trent Alexander-Arnold and unleashed a thunderous finish into the top right corner.
Cody Gakpo gave Jurgen Klopp’s much-changed visitors a first-half lead before Justin Kluivert’s maiden Cherries goal levelled proceedings amid treacherous conditions caused by Storm Ciaran.
Parity lasted just six minutes as Nunez’s third goal in as many games emphatically earned the nine-time winners a place in the last eight to ensure an entertaining fourth-round tie would not be settled by the jeopardy of a penalty shoot-out.

Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn Rovers
Benoit Badiashile scored the opening goal as he made his first appearance of the season in Chelsea’s 2-0 Carabao Cup victory over Blackburn at Stamford Bridge.
The France defender had not started a Blues match since he was injured in their draw with Nottingham Forest in May and got himself involved at both ends of the pitch in a game that also saw Reece James return to the starting XI.
Raheem Sterling fired home after the break, and while the visitors had defended well, they never looked close to coming back into the contest.
Chelsea have now reached their 24th quarter-final in 33 attempts, and are one step closer to lifting a first League Cup since 2015, when Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino was in charge of runners-up Tottenham.

West Ham 3-1 Arsenal
West Ham welcomed Declan Rice back to the London Stadium and then promptly sent him and Arsenal packing on the end of a 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat.
Rice, who lifted the Europa Conference League trophy as Hammers captain last season, was back at his old club for the first time since his £105million switch to the Gunners.
But he will not be getting his hands on the Carabao Cup this season after strikes from Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen, following an early own goal by Ben White, sent the north Londoners crashing out.
