Tottenham suffer Carabao Cup embarrassment with elimination by League Two side Colchester

Tottenham suffered Carabao Cup humiliation on Tuesday, as they were knocked out of the competition by League Two side Colchester United.

Last season's Champions League finalists named a changed side at the JobServe Community Stadium on Tuesday, but still included regulars like Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, Ben Davies, Lucas Moura and Dele Alli, among others.

But Spurs were unable to score on their fourth-tier opposition over 90 minutes, with the match entering a penalty shootout tied at 0-0.
