Carabao Cup Roundup: Burnley & Newcastle Suffer Early Exits as Premier League Trio Seal Wins

Premier League sides Burnley and Newcastle were eliminated in the Carabao Cup second round, with the former suffering a shock 3-1 defeat at home to League One side Sunderland.

Having gone in front courtesy of Jay Rodriguez's first goal since returning to the club in the summer, the Clarets were pegged back before half-time through Will Grigg's effort. A quickfire double from Tom Flanagan and George Dobson shortly after the restart proved to be the nail in the coffin as Sean Dyche's side failed to recover.

In the north east, James Maddison's fine form continued as he gave Leicester the lead away at fellow Premier League side Newcastle with a deflected free-kick.
