"Ryan Leonard's 91st-minute equaliser at Selhurst Park cancelled out Chris Richards' opener, only for Oliver Glasner's side to squeeze past their Championship visitors on spot-kicks. Walter Benitez, who made his debut after joining from PSV in July, proved the hero as the backup goalkeeper denied both Aidomo Emakhu and Tristan Crama to see Palace to a nervy victory over their London rivals."
"Ethan Horvath and Jamal Lowe were the only senior starters for the Championship side, whose off-field issues saw many Wednesday supporters stay away from Hillsborough in protest against owner Dejphon Chansiri, albeit the Owls did beat Premier League side Leeds United in similar circumstances in round two. The visitors still did the job, however, with Jaze Kabia's 49th-minute header enough to see Grimsby into the fourth round of this competition for the first time since the 2001-02 season."
Crystal Palace required penalties to overcome Millwall after Chris Richards opened the scoring and Ryan Leonard's 91st-minute equaliser forced spot-kicks. Walter Benitez, on his debut after joining from PSV in July, saved attempts from Aidomo Emakhu and Tristan Crama to secure Palace's win. Grimsby Town advanced to the fourth round with a 1-0 victory at Sheffield Wednesday courtesy of Jaze Kabia's 49th-minute header, marking their best run since 2001-02. Aston Villa were eliminated by Brentford on penalties after a 1-1 draw; Harvey Elliot and Aaron Hickey scored in normal time, and Brentford won 4-2 in the shootout.
