Andy Woodman celebrates ‘special' Bromley players after cup victory over Ipswich
Andy Woodman hailed the character of his Bromley squad as they knocked Championship side Ipswich out of the Carabao Cup on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Two spot-kick saves from Bromley goalkeeper Sam Long proved critical as the League Two side won the shootout 5-4 against a team who were playing in the Premier League last season. Ravens manager Andy Woodman said: 'I expected the team to go out and execute the gameplan and they did that and then some. 'We knew that Ipswich would have a lot of the ball, but I trust the character and fitness of my players and I think that was on show tonight. 'They aren't celebrating like 'big-time Charlies' for winning the match. There is an air in that changing room of being humble and focusing in on the next challenge. This is a special group of players.' Deji Elerewe headed Bromley into the lead but half-time substitute Ben Johnson equalised soon after the interval. The visitors could not find a winner and, after George Hirst and Ali Al-Hamadi were denied by Long in the shootout, Marcus Ifill fired Bromley into the second round. Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna rued a lack of urgency from his side. 'I'm frustrated because winning matches like this give you extra games for players and allows us to get minutes into legs,' he said. 'We were better in the second half and probably should have won the game late on, but once you let it go to penalties you know the risk at hand. 'We had control in the first half but no urgency, which shows we aren't quite there yet. 'We aren't the team we need to be at the moment, but we will take the lessons and go from there.'

Tyler Goodrham effort enough as Oxford see off Colchester in Carabao Cup
Tyler Goodrham's fine early strike proved enough as Championship outfit Oxford claimed a narrow 1-0 win over League Two Colchester in the Carabao Cup first round. The 22-year-old midfielder showed his class by firing a dipping 22-yard shot over goalkeeper Matt Macey in the ninth minute. Both teams made six changes from their league games at the weekend for what was Colchester's first-ever visit to the Kassam Stadium. Oxford started fast, winning a corner in the opening seconds and going ahead inside the opening 10 minutes. Adrian Akande shot well wide when the visitors tried to respond. Oxford almost doubled their lead when Matt Phillips cut in from the left and saw his shot spectacularly pushed around his post by Macey. Jamie Cumming saved efforts from Arthur Read and John-Kymani Gordon before the break as Colchester worked hard to get back on level terms. Goodrham screwed a low shot wide early in the second half and Cameron Brannagan later warmed Macey's fingers with a swerving 35-yard drive. Colchester captain Tom Flanagan headed off the line to keep out Mark Harris's angled shot in the closing minutes. Yet Danny Cowley's visitors were never out of it and kept believing they could get something out of the tie until the final whistle.

Josh Sargent and Marcelino Nunez on target as Norwich knock Watford out of cup
First-half goals from Josh Sargent and Marcelino Nunez proved enough as Norwich edged a 2-1 victory away to Watford in the first round of the Carabao Cup. Substitute Kwadwo Baah pulled one back in the second half but Paulo Pezzolano's first home game as the Hornets' new manager ended in disappointing defeat. Norwich went ahead in the 10th minute when the hosts surrendered possession in their own half to allow Papa Diallo to cross from the left and present United States striker Sargent with a simple finish from 10 yards. Chile play-maker Nunez doubled City's lead after 24 minutes with a long-range effort that goalkeeper Egil Selvik seemed to have saved, only for the ball to squirm through the Norway international's gloves and over the line. The Hornets were booed off at the break and were relieved not to be three behind when substitute Kevin Keben's ball across his own box was blocked by Norwich's Emiliano Marcondes and bounced narrowly wide. Watford hit back in the 68th minute however when Baah, who had come on for Tom Ince in the 62nd minute, drove the ball into the box on the left and fired a fine shot across Canaries goalkeeper Daniel Grimshaw.
