Carabao Cup round-up: Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all win but Man City crash out with defeat to Newcastle

The Metro says Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all booked their spots in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday night while Manchester City crashed out with a shock 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United.

Arsenal travelled to Brentford and Reiss Nelson got them off to the perfect start as he fired the Gunners ahead on eight minutes.

It was eventually enough for Mikel Arteta’s side to seal a 1-0 victory as Aaron Ramsdale, who recently lost the No.1 spot to David Raya, recorded a clean sheet and Emile Smith Rowe picked up valuable minutes after being handed a start.

Chelsea locked horns with Brighton at Stamford Bridge and the Seagulls had two massive chances in the first half after errors from both Robert Sanchez and Moises Caicedo, but Joao Pedro and Ansu Fati could not find the back of the net.
