"Cork-born Kabia, who counts Cobh Ramblers, Shelbourne and Cork City amongst his former clubs, and former St Patrick's Athletic and Shamrock Rovers man Burns were both spot on from 12 yards as the League Two side eventually ran out 12-11 winners in the end of this enthralling Carabao Cup tie. Former Derry City defender Cameron McJannet was also on target for Grimsby in a sensational penalty shootout."
"United suffered even greater humiliation on Wednesday at a bouncing Blundell Park, where Charles Vernam scored before Red Devils youth product Tyrell Warren capitalised on goalkeeper Andre Onana's latest error. Grimsby had chances to pull further ahead in the second half, only for substitute Mbeumo to pull one back and Harry Maguire's latest last-gasp goal to snatch a 2-2 draw and take the match to penalties."
"Former Derry City defender Cameron McJannet was also on target for Grimsby in a sensational penalty shootout. Bryan Mbeumo missed the key penalty as Grimsby sealed a famous 12-11 penalty shootout.
