About this listen

 One of the greatest League Cup shocks of all time unfolded on Wednesday night as League Two Grimsby Town dumped Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup. After racing into a 2-0 lead through Charles Vernam and ex-United trainee Tyrell Warren, the Mariners were pegged back late on. A penalty shootout followed that went all the way to 26 spot-kicks before Bryan Mbuemo’s miss handed Grimsby an astonishing 12-11 victory. Jubilant fans invaded the pitch to celebrate a night that will live long in club history. Elsewhere, Rangers suffered a humiliating 6-0 defeat to Club Brugge in Belgium to end their Champions League hopes, while Brighton, Fulham and Everton all secured comfortable progress in the Carabao Cup. The third-round draw served up ties including Liverpool vs Southampton, Newcastle vs Bradford, and a fiery South London derby between Palace and Millwall. We also have major transfer developments. Aleksandar Isak has reportedly rejected a new Newcastle contract, with Liverpool preparing a £120m bid. Meanwhile, Manchester United could lose Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho. Also we preview Thursday's European action and Wolves YouTuber Dazzling Dave has produced a terrace chant for Jorgen Strand Larsen - it may need some lyrical fine-tuning, but it’s already gone viral. 💫 SUPPORT FIRST UP: FOOTBALL Get ad-free episodes & newsletters: https://firstupfootball.com 🎙️ FOR FULL PODCAST EPISODES: Podfollow: https://podfollow.com/first-up-football Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/first-up-football/id1831301526 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3NdFHpufatDXdOac5WhzBy 🗣️ FOLLOW FIRST UP: FOOTBALL ON SOCIAL MEDIA: X: https://www.x.com/firstupftbl Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/firstupfootball TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@firstupfootball Learn more about your ad choices.
