The first batch of fixtures from the third round of the Carabao Cup took place on Tuesday evening and the biggest story was Liverpool losing 2-0 to Leicester - the result heaped more misery on Jurgen Klopp following the Reds' stuttering start to their Premier League campaign.
Another side struggling in the league are Crystal Palace, so they will be delighted to have found some respite from their woes in the cup, after beating Huddersfield Town 1-0.
Elsewhere, there were wins for West Ham and Tottenham and as always, good old Twitter had its irreverent say on the night's events:

Liverpool got it in the neck from all angles...well, one in particular...

Masuaku is so much better than Cresswell. I said it last season and I'm still saying it now.

...Still, you can't please everyone:
So now Arnautovic is back and looking decent, Hernandez to be shafted to the bench this weekend?

A solitary Dele Alli strike was enough to see Spurs through to the next round...

Goals in just 3 of the 11 matches tonight. This is not the prestigious Carabao Cup I grew up watching.

Everyone going on about how well Robertson's doing. Calm down. Moreno would have scored two, made two and been sent off by now. #CarabaoCup
