Third round draw coming up
Now that’s over, we’ll have the Carabao Cup third round draw shortly.
Stick around.
Newcastle win 4-3 on penalties
Nottingham Forest are OUT of the Carabao Cup, losing 4-3 on penalties.
Ibrahim Sangare and Taiwo Awoniyi both missed for the hosts.
Sean Longstaff nets the decisive penalty and Newcastle are through.
Forest and Newcastle headed to penalties
We’re also headed to penalties in the Sky Sports match!
There’s no winner in the 90 minutes between Forest and Newcastle, which ends 1-1 at the City Ground.
So we’re headed to spot-kicks to decide the victor.
That means we might have to wait a little longer than originally planned to find out the third-round draw!
Ipswich knocked out
Ipswich are out! They lose 4-2 on penalties to Wimbledon.
Goalkeeper Owen Goodman saves from both Jack Taylor and Omari Hutchinson.
And then Omar Bugiel fires Wimbledon through.

Draw conditions explained
The EFL have explained how tonight’s draw will work…
“The round three draw consists of 32 clubs – 25 winners from round two with the seven Premier League Clubs in UEFA competitions also entering in this round.
“The UEFA Conference League, a competition Chelsea could be participating in, is due to begin in October and therefore has no impact on the Carabao Cup round three draw.
“For the main draw, two separate bowls will be utilised:
Bowl 1 – consisting of the six UCL and UEL Clubs
Bowl 2 – consisting of the remaining 26 Clubs
“A pre-draw will take place prior to Nottingham Forest’s round two fixture against Newcastle United to determine the home/away positioning of the six clubs in Bowl 1 for the first six ties of the main draw.
“The main draw will be conducted following the conclusion of the game at the City Ground.
“The first six ties will be drawn by alternating between one club from Bowl 1 and one club from Bowl 2, with the home/away positioning of the club from Bowl 1 already pre-determined in the earlier draw.
“Once the six clubs from Bowl 1 have been drawn, the remaining ten ties will be drawn from Bowl 2 only. From this round of the competition, the draw is no longer split into northern and southern sections.”
