Jacob Steinberg was at Craven Cottage and reports that “Marco Silva’s side were superior for long spells and should have won the tie during normal time.” Here’s his verdict. Meanwhile thanks for reading this Clockwatch. Nighty night!

FULL TIME: Salford City 1-1 Leeds United (Salford win 9-8 on penalties). Ashley hammers home, grabbing his second chance with both hands, and disappears into a delighted crowd! Leeds are out, Salford are through to the third round for the first time in their history, and this is the giant-killing story of the night!
Updated
Jamie Shackleton aims for the top right … but hits the underside of the bar. The ball sails away and Shackleton grimaces. Over to Ossama Ashley who aims for the bottom right … only for Karl Darlow to parry! But it’ll be retaken because the keeper was miles off his line. Darlow is booked, Ashley steps up again, and …
Crysencio Summerville absolutely skelps his kick into the top left. The pressure now on Curtis Tilt who … should see his poor kick, a weak sidefoot towards the bottom left, saved. But Karl Darlow allows it to slip through his hands.
Ethan Ampadu gets away with a poor kick that squirts under Alex Cairns. Adrian Mariappa responds by whistling into the left-hand inside netting. Perfectly placed. It’s 7-7.
It’s 6-6! Bolton opens his body and curls gracefully into the bottom right. In the stands, Roy Keane and Nicky Butt look on nervously.
Charlie Cresswell roofs his spot kick to make it 6-5 to Leeds. Here comes Luke Bolton, who now needs to score.
… absolutely LASHES his penalty off the crossbar. That was hit at 101 miles per hour. An inch lower and the net was ripping. As it is, it’s slightly surprising the frame of the goal hasn’t been reduced to a pile of splinters. Leo Hjelde and Matty Lund trade successful kicks and it’s 4-4 after the first set of five. Sudden death now!
Willy Gnonto sends the keeper one way, then hammers his penalty into the left-hand side of the net. It’s 3-3 … but not for long, as Marcus Dackers whips a one-step penalty into the bottom left. All of a sudden Luis Sinisterra has to score or Leeds are out! He whistles one into the bottom left. But it still means Salford have a kick to go through. It’ll be down to Connor McLennan, who steps up and …
Leeds and Salford slot the first four penalties. Then Georginio Rutter steps up, and hits a dreadful dribbler down the middle. Easy for Alex Cairns, who didn’t need to move. Ryan Watson lashes Salford’s third into the top left, and it’s advantage Salford. The shock is on!
FULL TIME: Reading 2-2 Ipswich. Will the drama never cease? It’s been a fantastic evening in the Carabao Cup.
FULL TIME: Salford City 1-1 Leeds United. Penalties to be taken in front of the Salford fans.
FULL TIME: Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Mansfield (Mansfield win 5-4 on penalties)
FULL TIME: Exeter 1-1 Stevenage (Exeter win 5-3 on penalties)
FULL TIME: Wrexham 1-1 Bradford (Bradford win 4-3 on penalties)
FULL TIME: Portsmouth 1-1 Peterborough (Peterborough win 5-4 on penalties)
Spot-kick joy/heartbreak up and down the land.
GOAL! Reading 2-2 Ipswich (Ehibhatiomhan 87). Against the run of play, Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan levels for the hosts and penalties loom!
FULL TIME: Fulham 1-1 Tottenham (Fulham win 5-3 on penalties). Davinson Sanchez has his weak penalty saved. Kenny Tete, who had been off the pitch fixing his boots when Richarlison equalised, slams home the winning kick. The end of the Ange Postecoglou honeymoon already? Nope, let’s not be silly.
Updated
FULL TIME: Newport 1-1 Brentford (Brentford win 3-0 on penalties). Newport miss all three of theirs.

SOME MORE FULL TIMES: Bristol City 0-1 Norwich; Plymouth 2-4 Crystal Palace; Stoke 6-1 Rotherham; Wycombe 0-1 Sutton; Luton 3-2 Gillingham.
GOAL! Bolton 1-3 Middlesbrough (Rogers 90+4). Boro did for Bolton in the 2004 final, and they’ve done for them again. Morgan Rogers seals the deal.
FULL TIME: Portsmouth 1-1 Peterborough
FULL TIME: Exeter 1-1 Stevenage
FULL TIME: Fulham 1-1 Tottenham
Penalties it is, then.

GOAL! Newport 1-1 Brentford (Rai 90+6). Out of nowhere, supersub Kiban Rai flashes a header home and Newport will be taking Premier League Brentford to penalties!
GOAL! Bolton 1-2 Middlesbrough (McGree 90+1). Riley McGree appears to have kick-started Boro’s season!
FULL TIME: Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Mansfield.
FULL TIME: Port Vale 0-0 Crewe.
To penalties we go.
FULL TIME: Tranmere 0-2 Leicester. No revenge for the 2000 final for Rovers.
GOAL! Luton 3-2 Gillingham (Nichols 88). A right-wing cross. Tom Nichols glances a lovely header into the bottom left, and the Gills aren’t done quite yet!
GOAL! Salford 1-1 Leeds (Struijk 76). Salford fail to clear a poor Leeds free kick and Pascal Struijk bundles home from the middle of a meleé.
Updated
GOAL! Newport 0-1 Brentford (Jensen 87). Heartbreak for fourth-tier Newport, who have defended well, only for keeper Jonny Maxted to miss a cross late on, allowing Mathias Jensen to tap home.
GOAL! Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Mansfield (Oates 85). Rhys Oates sashays down the inside-left channel, glides infield, and curls a glorious shot into the bottom right. What a solo strike!
Updated
FULL TIME: Swansea 2-3 Bournemouth. The Cherries hold on for a fine comeback victory.
GOAL! Wolves 5-0 Blackpool (Fraser 84). Nathan Fraser, 18, scores on his senior debut. Meanwhile here’s a reminder of happier times for Blackpool fans.
Updated
GOAL! Plymouth 2-4 Crystal Palace (Mateta 83). A hat-trick for Jean-Philippe Mateta and it looks like Palace have completed a spectacular comeback from two goals down!
GOAL! Reading 1-2 Ipswich (Ladapo 59). A simple ball down the middle splits the home defence. Freddie Ladapo tears clear and calmly rolls home. The Tractor Boys, behind after 74 seconds, now lead!
GOAL! Wrexham 1-1 Bradford (Boyle 72). A corner hit long from the left. Will Boyle rises highest and plants a header into the top left.
GOAL! Swansea 2-3 Bournemouth (Christie 90+1). Ryan Christie looks to have snatched victory for the Cherries in injury time, threading a diagonal shot into the bottom right.
GOAL! Stoke 6-1 Rotherham (Leris 72). Mehdi Leris hits Rotherham for six. Factor in the opening-day Championship match between these sides, and Stoke are currently leading 10-2.
GOAL! Exeter 1-1 Stevenage (Roberts 69). A Jordan Roberts header levels the scores in the west country.
GOAL! Birmingham 1-2 Cardiff (Hogan 70). Hold on! Ten-man Blues are still in this! Scott Hogan escapes down the inside-left channel and slots into the near corner.
GOAL! Luton 3-1 Gillingham (Woodrow 66). Cauley Woodrow restores Luton’s two-goal cushion, larruping home from the edge of the D.
GOAL! Birmingham 0-2 Cardiff (Wintle 68). Jutkiewicz’s dismissal looks to have scuppered the hopes of Blues at St Andrews. Ryan Wintle doubles Cardiff’s lead against the ten men.
Belated news of a 51st-minute equaliser for Portsmouth versus Peterborough. Christian Saydee made it 1-1 … and there’s now more hope for Pompey as Boro’s Charlie O’Connell has picked up two yellows and has been sent packing. A straight red card meanwhile for Birmingham’s Lukas Jutkiewicz, the result of a cynical tackle on an in-flight opponent.
GOAL! Wolves 4-0 Blackpool (Doherty 66). Not a bad second debut for Matt Doherty. Two goals in six minutes! A goal machine.
GOAL! Swansea 2-2 Bournemouth (Paterson 79). It’s been all Bournemouth in the second half, but Jamie Paterson sends a bobbling effort through a crowded box and into the bottom right, and the Swans are on terms!
Updated
GOAL! Plymouth 2-3 Crystal Palace (Mateta 62). Palace complete the turnaround in short order! Jean-Philippe Mateta sweeps home from the edge of the box. Absurd! Four minutes and five seconds, that comeback took.
GOAL! Wolves 3-0 Blackpool (Doherty 60). A left-wing cross floated through the six-yard box. Matt Doherty rises to cushion a header home.
GOAL! Plymouth 2-2 Crystal Palace (Mateta 61). Palace have suddenly stepped on the gas, and Jean-Philippe Mateta makes it two in three minutes for the Premier League side.
Updated
GOAL! Luton 2-1 Gillingham (Clarke 55). Jayden Clarke scuttles in from the left, sits a defender down, and sweeps into the net. Gillingham back in it.
GOAL! Stoke 5-1 Rotherham (Laurent 55). Josh Laurent’s second of the evening and the Millers are rusty all right.
GOAL! Plymouth 2-1 Crystal Palace (Edouard 58). Odsonne Edouard pokes home from a couple of yards and Palace are back in it!
GOAL! Tranmere 0-2 Leicester (Vardy 59). A close-range header by Jamie Vardy looks to have settled the rerun of the 2000 final.
Updated
GOAL! Fulham 1-1 Tottenham (Richarlison 56). Kenny Tete runs off down the tunnel to replace the insole in his boot. While he’s gone, a cross comes in from the flank he’s been patrolling. Richarlison heads it home from close range, and a penny for Marco Silva’s thoughts.
Updated
GOAL! Tranmere 0-1 Leicester (Ndidi 55). Wilfred Ndidi sends a forensic shot into the bottom left from the right-hand corner of the box.
GOAL! Swansea 1-2 Bournemouth (Traore 68). Mark Brooks scored one; now he sets one up. A cross dinked in from the right. Dominic Solanke attempts to steer a header into the top right. The ball rebounds off the woodwork to Hamed Traore, who makes no mistake from close range.
HALF TIME: Reading 1-1 Ipswich. A half bookended by goals.
GOAL! Bristol City 0-1 Norwich (Placheta 49). A cute spin and slot by Przemyslaw Placheta on the left-hand corner of the six-yard box.
GOAL! Plymouth 2-0 Crystal Palace (Cundle 46). Luke Cundle curls into the top right from the edge of the box, and Palace are up against it now.

Updated
HALF TIME: Salford 1-0 Leeds. A shock on the cards at Moor Lane.
GOAL! Swansea 1-1 Bournemouth (Brooks 55). Bournemouth have been the better side since the restart, and equalise through a David Brooks screamer, dispatched into the bottom left from the right-hand edge of the D. Jaidon Anthony’s assist, a creamy diagonal pass from left to right, was worth the price of admission as well.

Updated
GOAL! Salford 1-0 Leeds (Smith 34). A glancing header by Matt Smith puts the fourth-tier side ahead against the 1968 winners.
Spurs haven’t mustered much of a response to going behind at Fulham. They’re missing the creativity of new boy James Maddison. Ivan Perisic blootered a free kick into the wall, but that’s about it. In fact it’s Fulham who look the more likely, Rodrigo Muniz forcing Fraser Forster into a save with a bullet header.
GOAL! Stoke 4-1 Rotherham (Campbell 43). Tyrese Campbell sets up a repeat of the scoreline when these teams met on the opening day of the Championship. Of course this time there’s over a half of football still to play.
Updated
LULL! All quiet on the scoring front.
HALF TIME: Swansea 1-0 Bournemouth. Andoni Iraola, looking for his first win as Bournemouth boss, has a big team-talk to deliver.
GOAL! Bolton 1-1 Middlesbrough (Crooks 33). Boro in bother but Matt Crooks isn’t in the mood to panic. He takes down a long pass before wedging cutely over the keeper from the edge of the box. That’s a glorious finish.
Updated
GOAL! Stoke 3-1 Rotherham (Laurent 29). Josh Laurent re-establishes Stoke’s two-goal cushion.
GOAL! Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Mansfield (Musaba 28). Anthony Musaba sends a header down and back up into the top-right corner of the net.
GOAL! Luton 2-0 Gillingham (Doughty 28). Alfie Doughty rounds off a magnificent training-ground free-kick routine by whipping into the top-left corner from distance.
GOAL! Portsmouth 0-1 Peterborough (Ajiboye 29). David Ajiboye pops up in the middle of a penalty-box stramash to slot.
GOAL! Wolves 2-0 Blackpool (Silva 25). Fabio Silva doubles Wolves’ lead in this clash of grand old names infused with 1950s-style glamour.
GOAL! Stoke 2-1 Rotherham (Morrison 22). One effort on target for Rotherham, one goal. Sean Morrison bangs in a header from a corner.
GOAL! Bolton 1-0 Middlesbrough (Charles 23). More misery for Boro, courtesy of Dion Charles. Too early to say Michael Carrick’s coat now hangs on a shoogly peg?
GOAL! Wycombe 0-1 Sutton (O’Brien 19). Wycombe had started quickly, but it’s the visitors who take the lead at Adams Park through Aiden O’Brien.
GOAL! Fulham 1-0 Tottenham (Van de Ven og 19). Tom Cairney dances his way down the left, twisting Davinson Sánchez’s blood. His low, hard cross-cum-shot is deflected into his own net by Micky van de Ven.
Updated
GOAL! Stoke 2-0 Rotherham (Mmaee 18). Ryan Mmaee doubles Stoke’s lead in short order.
GOAL! Reading 1-0 Ipswich (Williams og 2). A fast start for the Biscuitmen in this 8pm kick-off. There’s some bagatelle in the Ipswich box, and Brandon Williams accidentally bundles into his own net after just 74 seconds of his full Ipswich debut. The only way is up.
LULL! A lull.
GOAL! Wolves 1-0 Blackpool (Kalajdzic 10). Sasa Kalajdzic scored a late winner at Everton last weekend; having thus located his mojo, he’s notched another goal early doors tonight. A bouncing, bobbling bomb from the edge of the box.
Updated
GOAL! Exeter 1-0 Stevenage (Hartridge 5). Alex Hartridge heads a rare goal home from a corner. It’s his first in three seasons.
GOAL! Birmingham 0-1 Cardiff (Colwill 3). Rubin Colwill steers a low left-wing cross into the bottom right. Cute goal and a fast start for the Bluebirds.
GOAL! Plymouth 1-0 Crystal Palace (Waine 6). Ben Waine sweeps home from close range to give Roy Hodgson something to think about.
Updated
GOAL! Stoke 1-0 Rotherham (Burger 2). Wouter Burger volleys home to give Stoke a flying start.
GOAL! Luton 1-0 Gillingham (Brown 2). Luton are back at Kenilworth Road, and it’s taken them less than 120 seconds. Just 96 in fact. Jacob Brown sends a shot in from the edge of the box.
Updated
GOAL! Wrexham 0-1 Bradford (Smith pen 3). What looks like a garden-variety shoulder charge is penalised by a penalty. Preposterous, but there it is. Tyler Smith lashes it in.
GOAL! Swansea 1-0 Bournemouth (Grimes pen 9). An early goal in the early kick-off, and the Swans lead through a Matt Grimes penalty, awarded for handball and whistled brilliantly into the top-left corner. No saving that one.
There will be goals. But in lieu of early net-bothering League Cup action, allow us to take you for a meander down Memory Lane, via Nostalgia Boulevard and Reminiscence Parkway.
Tonight’s matches in the EFL Cup, formerly known as the Football League Cup, currently known as the Carabao Cup for sponsorship reasons, and formerly sponsored by the Milk Marketing Board, Littlewoods, Rumbelows, Coca-Cola, Worthington’s, Carling and Capital One, will go straight to penalties if not decided during the regulation 90 minutes. No extra time.
