Grimsby Town achieved a stunning upset by defeating Manchester United 12-11 in a penalty shootout during their Carabao Cup second round match on Wednesday.
In the shootout, Clarke Oduor from Grimsby and Matheus Cunha from United both had their penalties saved, while Bryan Mbeumo’s missed kick ultimately secured the victory for Grimsby.
This marked a low point for United, as it was the first time they lost a League Cup match to a fourth division team.
