Carabao Cup fourth round draw fixtures confirmed

Brighton received another tough draw in the Carabao Cup after blowing away Manchester United with a brilliant 3-2 third round win at Old Trafford.

United had made a dream start to Wednesday’s tie as academy product Shea Lacey kissed the badge having marked his first start with a goal a day after it emerged that 15-year-old talent JJ Gabriel had requested to leave.

Mason Mount added a second in the 10th minute but Brighton were invited on and deservedly pulled one back through Charalampos Kostoulas just before half-time.

Carrick’s men had no answer to the Seagulls’ second-half surge, with Pascal Gross coolly levelling before substitute Maxim De Cuyper struck to spark the boos.

Brighton are first team in more than 50 years to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford after being 2-0 down.

Pascal Gross: We climbed a mountain

Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross, speaking to Sky Sports about conceding two goals early on: "It was frustrating because it's not the first time this season, it's the third time this season where we started slow.

“We have to improve that because we always have to climb a mountain but today we did that.

"We played here before last season a similar match that we won and that gives you belief in a stadium where you won before.

“The experience we try to give it to the lads. It was a really good performance and I have to say [Jason] Steele's save at the end was unbelievable."
