Carabao Cup second round draw details as Premier League clubs enter competition

The Carabao Cup got underway on Tuesday night and it was a nightmare night for Championship teams.

There were shocks aplenty with no fewer than 11 second tier sides being dumped out - and nine of those by lower league opposition. Only Norwich and Preston secured a safe passage, albeit after beating fellow Championship sides.

Among the biggest scalps was Hull City losing 2-1 away at Yorkshire rivals Bradford City. The Tigers took the lead but Mark Hughes' side came from behind to clinch a spot in the second round. Other second tier teams to be eliminated by League Two sides include Blackpool, Luton and Reading. The Tangerines were beaten by Barrow on penalties whilst the latter two lost in normal time to Newport and Stevenage respectively.
