"Grimsby Town fans ran on to the turf after witnessing their heroes pull off a monumental shock by dumping Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup. While national headlines will focus on a latest humiliation for fallen giants United, the League Two Mariners don't care about that. They care about eliminating one of the biggest teams on earth in a genuinely sensational cup tie."
"The Grimsby fans invading the pitch, they've never seen anything like this! Getting over the line and in many respects they deserved it for the way that they played inside the 90 minutes. The penalty shootout was as mad as the game itself. Now THAT is a giant killing. This is one of those evenings where the fans that were here tonight will remember that forever. Astonishing result. It will go down in the club's history as one of their greatest ever wins."
Grimsby Town eliminated Manchester United from the Carabao Cup after a 2-2 draw and a dramatic 12-11 penalty shootout. Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren put Grimsby 2-0 up within 30 minutes in front of a sellout 8,647 at Blundell Park. Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire scored late to force penalties. Both goalkeepers scored during the shootout; Grimsby's Jaze Kabia and Darragh Burns converted their second kicks before Mbeumo hit the crossbar. Fans invaded the pitch in celebration and pundits described the result as a historic giant-killing for the League Two side.
