Apprentice beats Master

Derby County beat Manchester United 7x8 in a dramatic penalty shootout to settle a pulsating Carabao Cup tie at Old Trafford and send the Championship club through to the fourth round.

Paul Pogba was omitted from the Red Devils squad as he watched from the stands, and United once again failed to finish an opponent off after leading.

In an incident-packed tie, United took the lead through Juan Mata's first goal in nine months before Harry Wilson - on loan from Liverpool - equalised with a brilliant dipping free-kick from 30 yards.

Eight minutes later, Romero was dismissed for handling outside the box and Derby grabbed what they thought was the winner when United's substitute keeper Lee Grant parried a shot from Mason Mount and Jack Marriott nodded in the loose ball.

But in the fifth minute of added time, substitute Fellaini headed in a Diogo Dalot cross to force the shootout.

After 15 successful penalties, Rams goalkeeper Scott Carson saved Phil Jones´ effort low to his left to secure a famous victory for Frank Lampard's side.

José Mourinho: “The only truth is that I made the decision of Paul not to be the second captain any more but no fall-out, no problems at all.

Frank Lampard: “It was special. A special performance. To come to Manchester United and to not just nick a win but to play the way we played, with all the things we’ve been working towards in a short space of time, to do it on this stage against this team full of top players, with that squad which has some younger boys in it as well. The players were immense. What a night for the club, coming here to do that.”
