Manchester United suffered one of the biggest humiliations in their recent history on Wednesday night, crashing out of the Carabao Cup to League Two side Grimsby Town after a dramatic penalty shootout at Blundell Park.
The tie finished 2–2 in normal time, with Grimsby racing into a shock two-goal lead through Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren inside the opening half-hour.
United looked on the verge of disaster before Bryan Mbeumo pulled a goal back in the 75th minute, and Harry Maguire powered home an equaliser late on to force spot-kicks.
