Carabao Cup: Sunderland 1-1 Crewe Alexandra - - Crewe win 5-3 on penalties

On-loan Liverpool goalkeeper Harvey Davies was the hero as Crewe pulled off a shock EFL Cup penalty shootout win at Sunderland.

The 19-year-old saved Pierre Ekwah's kick, with all five Alex players hitting the target.

That put a dampener on a historic evening for Sunderland striker Chris Rigg.

Rigg's goal, just 51 days after his 16th birthday, made him the youngest goalscorer in Sunderland's history, after he became their youngest-ever outfield player last season.

Skipper Luke Offord headed Crewe in front in first-half injury time.

Rigg's goal temporarily denied them the win and they had the outstanding Davies to thank for a fine save from Bradley Dack deep into added time.
