CARABAO CUP HIGHLIGHTS 🚨 Manchester United Stunned as Brighton Lead Four Winners Into Fourth Round

The Carabao Cup delivered another dramatic night on Wednesday as Brighton stunned Manchester United 3–2 at Old Trafford, while Fleetwood Town produced one of the biggest shocks of the round by eliminating Sheffield United.

Four third-round ties were played across England, with Aston Villa also progressing comfortably against Coventry City and Everton edging past Wolves.

Here is how the action unfolded.

Brighton Complete Stunning Old Trafford Comeback

Manchester United looked to be cruising when Shea Lacey and Mason Mount scored inside the opening 10 minutes.

Lacey opened the scoring in the eighth minute before Mount doubled United’s advantage just two minutes later.

But Brighton refused to collapse.

Charalampos Kostoulas pulled one back shortly before half-time, giving the visitors renewed belief.

That momentum carried into the second half.

Pascal Groß equalised in the 65th minute before Maxim De Cuyper completed Brighton’s remarkable turnaround four minutes later.

United could not find a response as Brighton held on for a 3–2 victory, sending the Seagulls into the fourth round and ending United’s Carabao Cup campaign.

Fleetwood Produce One of the Night's Biggest Shocks

There was another major upset away from the Premier League spotlight.

Fleetwood Town defeated Sheffield United 1–0 to book their place in the fourth round.

The result is particularly significant for Fleetwood, who reached the fourth round of the competition for the first time in their history.

Sheffield United, meanwhile, were unable to find a way through as the League One side protected their advantage and completed a memorable cup night.

Abraham Fires Aston Villa Past Coventry

Aston Villa avoided an upset at Coventry City, securing a 3–1 victory.

Tammy Abraham was the difference-maker, scoring twice as Villa established control of the tie.

Ross Barkley also found the net with a header, while Victor Torp briefly gave Coventry hope with a free-kick.

Villa ultimately regained control and sealed their place in the fourth round with a convincing away victory.

Everton Edge Wolves

The fourth tie produced another narrow victory as Everton defeated Wolves 1–0.

Charly Alcaraz scored the only goal of the match, giving Everton the advantage they needed to move through.

Wolves pushed for a response but Everton held firm to secure their place in the next round.

What Wednesday Means for the Fourth Round

Wednesday's results have added four more teams to the fourth-round lineup.

Brighton, Fleetwood Town, Aston Villa and Everton all advanced, while Manchester United, Sheffield United, Coventry City and Wolves were eliminated.

The fourth-round draw is being held following the conclusion of the Manchester United-Brighton tie, with the remaining third-round fixture Manchester City vs Norwich City scheduled for Thursday.

For United, however, there is no fourth-round draw to worry about.

Their two-goal collapse against Brighton has become the biggest talking point of Wednesday's Carabao Cup action.
