Grimsby Town produced a major upset by defeating Manchester United in the Carabao Cup after a 2-2 draw and a marathon penalty shootout. The League Two side led 2-0 and appeared set to win in normal time before United rallied, with Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire scoring to force extra time and penalties. The shootout stretched to 12-11, with Mbeumo missing the decisive spot-kick as fans poured onto the pitch to celebrate. The result deepens concerns over Manchester United's form under Ruben Amorim despite his previous success at Sporting Lisbon, and it marks a historic night for Grimsby supporters.
Grimsby fans took to the pitch to celebrate in absolutely incredible scenes after their shock victory over Manchester United in the Carabao Cup last night. This was a memorable result for the League Two side, who were 2-0 up and close to winning in normal time before Man Utd rallied late on. Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire scored to snatch a scarcely-deserved 2-2 draw, and a ridiculously long penalty shoot-out followed. Grimsby eventually came out on top 12-11 on penalties,
Manchester United reach new low under Ruben Amorim This was yet another dire result for United under Ruben Amorim, who just doesn't seem to be having the desired effect since being appointed as the club's manager. The Portuguese tactician was extremely highly rated from his time at Sporting Lisbon, where he won trophies and played an attractive brand of football.
