Carabao Cup : Onyeka helps Brentford to record-breaking win; Iwobi, Dennis crash out

Published: September 21, 2021

Allnigeriasoccer.com's round-up of the Nigeria internationals in action for their respective clubs in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening.

Everton, with Alex Iwobi going the distance, were beaten on penalties by Championship club Queens Park Rangers at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium (London).

A brace from Charlie Austin was cancelled out by goals from Lucas Digne and Andros Townsend to take the game to penalties.

The Toffees lost the penalty shootout 8-7 as Tom Davies saw his kick saved before Jimmy Dunne netted the winner.

Iwobi had a chance to score in the 29th minute of the first half but saw his effort easily saved by goalkeeper Dieng.

Frank Onyeka helped Brentford to a record-breaking win against Oldham Athletic at the Brentford Community Stadium, their biggest win in the Carabao Cup.

Marcus Forss got a double brace, Yoane Wissa bagged a pair of goals and an own goal by Raphael Diarra earned the Bees a comprehensive 7-0 victory.

Onyeka, who was in action for 71 minutes, tested the goalkeeper in the closing minutes of the first half but his shot was saved.

Watford paid the price for fielding a weakened side against Stoke City at Vicarage Road as they failed to reach the fourth round after losing 3-1 to the Championship club.

Late goals from Clucas and Tymon after Ashley Fletcher had cancelled out Powell's opener saw the Potters seal passage to the last sixteen.

While Emmanuel Dennis entered the fray in the 80th minute, William Troost-Ekong was a non-playing substitute and Oghenekaro Etebo missed out entirely.
