On Tuesday evening, eight matches of the third round of the English League Cup were played.
A real surprise was recorded in Colchester, where the local team "Colchester United" sensationally eliminated London's "Tottenham" from the tournament. "Colchester" competes in the fourth country league.
During the regular time, the teams did not score any goals, so everything was decided in an 11-meter penalty shootout. It began with an inaccurate shot by Christian Eriksen, while the hosts scored the first two shots.
In the third attempt, they also did not score, but a player from "Tottenham" Lucas Moura missed a shot, and taking advantage of that, "Colchester" stepped into the next round after a 4-3 penalty shootout victory.
In the starting lineup of "Spurs", players like Lucas, Dele Alli, Eric Dier, and Davinson Sanchez played.
In other matches, the London team "Arsenal" achieved a convincing victory, defeating "Nottingham" with a score of 5-0.
The goal scorers for the winners were Rob Holding, Joseph Willock, Reiss Nelson, and Martinelli, who scored a double.
Also, the "Manchester City" team achieved an easy victory. Goals from Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, and an own goal from the opponent determined the triumph of the "city" 3-0 against "Preston".
"Southampton", "Leicester", "Everton", and "Watford" teams also celebrated victories.
