🏆 EFL Cup: AFC Wimbledon shock Ipswich; Newcastle through on penalties | OneFootball

After all the Premier League sides made it through their EFL Cup fixtures on Tuesday, there was another batch of fixtures on Wednesday.

Here’s what happened.

Wolves overcome Championship Burnley with Guedes double

Scorers: Guedes 38′, 54′

A Gonçalo Guedes double was enough to see off Burnley by a 2-0 scoreline.

After a fairly slow start, Wolves had a couple of good chances in quick succession, the best of which when a Daniel Podence shot was parried and Pedro Lima forced Burnley’s Václav Hladký to push his rebound onto the post.

Lima was involved once again when Wolves did take the lead, as he put in a sublime cross that left  Guedes with very little to do other than deliver the close-range finish.

Into the second half and Wolves doubled their lead when a superb through-ball from Podence cut through the heart of the Burnley defence, allowing Guedes to run from halfway with the ball and chip the finish over Hladký.

AFC Wimbledon beat Premier League Ipswich in dramatic shoot-out

Scorers: Al-Hamadi 3′, Chaplin; Bugiel 40′, Stevens 56′

Ipswich made it three defeats from three as they were booted out of the cup by AFC Wimbledon as a 2-2 draw in normal time went to a penalty shoot-out.

The Premier League new boys took the lead early on with a bullet Ali Al-Hamadi header from a corner, but the League Two side were level just before half-time as Omar Bugiel headed home from a free-kick that was whipped into the area.

Kieran McKenna’s side then found themselves behind with an almost carbon-copy of Wimbledon’s first, this time headed in by Matty Stevens.

As the game neared its conclusion, Ipswich forward Conor Chaplin somehow managed to out jump the Wimbledon goalkeeper and direct the ball into the back of the net.

That sent the tie directly to a penalty shoot-out, with both Jack Taylor and Omari Hutchinson failing to convert their spot-kicks for the Tractor Boys, leaving Isaac Ogundere to smash home the winning penalty for Wimbledon.

Southampton blow Cardiff away in eight-goal thriller

Scorers: Fernandes 10, Amo-Ameyaw 30′, Archer 55′, Bree 90+1; Colwill 21′, Edwards 48′ (OG), Robertson 57′

Southampton overcame Championship Cardiff City in a 5-3 thriller at St. Mary’s Stadium

The Premier League side were off to a flyer when new signing Mateus Fernandes netted his first for the club, his quick feet on the edge of the box wrong-footing the defender, allowing him the space to finish.

But Cardiff were soon level thanks to an absolute stunner from Rubin Colwill, who scored out of nothing with a rocket from 30 yards out.

The Saints then restored their lead, after some slick passing and a cute backheel around the edge of the box led to another long-range shot from Sam Amo-Ameyaw, the 18-year-old netting his first senior goal for the club.

This topsy-turvy game saw Cardiff equalise once again when a dangerous ball across the face of goal from Raheem Conte was turned into his own net by Ronnie Edwards.

Were these sides taking turns to score goals? It seemed so when Cameron Archer put Southampton back in front with a smart turn and finish from inside the box, only for Cardiff to once again come back to equalise almost immediately with a top-draw volley from Alex Robertson.

Just one moment of hesitation from the Cardiff defender allowed James Bree to smash yet another long-range effort high into the net and prevent this thriller of a tie from heading into extra time.

Cameron Archer netted his second and Southampton’s fifth with a simple finish late into stoppage time.

One goal enough for Brentford to advance against Colchester

Scorers: Lewis-Potter 45′

Brentford’s Keane Lewis-Potter scored the only goal in their tie against League Two Colchester United.

A largely uneventful game saw Premier League Brentford edge through to the third round of the EFL Cup with a 1-0 win.

Brentford took the lead just before half-time through a controversial goal, as Kane Lewis Potter netted from close range when both sides had seemingly stopped playing in anticipation of the referee blowing for a foul on Colchester’s Aaron Donnelly in the box.

Late Bowen goal puts West Ham through

Scorers: Bowen 88′

West Ham left it late to secure their place in the next round with a narrow 1-0 win over Bournemouth

Bournemouth were having the best of the chances but were not clinical enough to make the breakthrough at the London Stadium.

Both sides were deadlocked for the majority of the game, and it took a strange goal for the Hammers to take the lead when a drilled Mohammed Kudus shot rebounded off Jarrod Bowen and into the net.

Longstaff the hero for Newcastle in shootout drama

Scorers: Willock 1′; Jota Silva 50′

Newcastle beat Nottingham Forest by a 4-3 scoreline on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time.

Sandro Tonali started his first game in 308 days after his gambling-related ban, and his side managed to score after just 19 seconds.

A fast break started by Tonali culminated in a shot on goal from Alexander Isak, but the goalkeeper made the save straight into the path of Joe Willock, who made no mistake with his shot.

Into the second half and Newcastle failed to clear their lines from a long throw into the box, and from the resulting flick-on, Jota Silva blasted his shot in off the underside of the bar on his home debut.

Neither side could find the back of the net for a second time, and the tie headed directly to penalties.

Joelinton was booed by the Forest supporters as he walked up to take his penalty, and was the first player to draw a blank as his effort was saved.

Then it was the home side’s score to miss as Ibrahim Sangaré crashed his shot against the bar.

Taiwo Awoniyi skied his penalty over the bar for Forest, leaving Sean Longstaff to convert and send Newcastle through to the next round.

Elsewhere…

The draw for the next round will be made after Nottingham Forest’s tie with Newcastle, with fixtures taking place on weeks commencing 16th and 23rd September.

Teams competing in Europe may have their EFL Cup fixtures rescheduled to accommodate the extra game.
