Manchester United Beat Rochdale on Penalties to Advance in EFL Cup

Manchester United reached the fourth round of the 2019/20 Carabao Cup, but only after beating League One side Rochdale 5-3 on penalties at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

Daniel James scored the winner in the shootout to secure the Red Devils a place in the draw and ensure they avoided another setback after the 2-0 defeat to West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday.

Mason Greenwood's second-half goal had put the Red Devils in a commanding position, but 16-year-old Luke Matheson's equaliser ensured the visitors stayed in the tie.

Rochdale are at home to Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday, before United host Arsenal on Monday.
