MANCHESTER —

Manchester United crashed out of the League Cup with a defeat on penalties to Championship side Derby County Tuesday after the third-round tie ended 2-2 in normal time at Old Trafford.

With no extra time in this season’s competition, the contest went straight to spot kicks and Frank Lampard’s Derby won 8-7 with Phil Jones’s effort saved by visiting keeper Scott Carson.

United manager Jose Mourinho said he felt his team was in difficulty once the shootout got down to his defenders.

For former England midfielder Lampard, who played under Mourinho at Chelsea, it was just reward for playing a full-strength side and approaching the game in positive fashion.

Derby had been moments away from winning 2-1 in normal time after United keeper Sergio Romero was sent off in the 67th minute but Marouane Fellaini got a stoppage-time equalizer.

United’s rival and League Cup holder Manchester City had no such trouble as it won 3-0 at Oxford United but top flight Burnley went down 2-1 at third-tier Burton Albion.

United had taken the lead against Derby in the third minute through Juan Mata. But the visitors drew level in spectacular fashion after 59 minutes with a brilliant bending free-kick from Harry Wilson.

Eight minutes later, Romero was dismissed for handling outside the box and Derby grabbed what it thought was the winner when United’s substitute keeper Lee Grant parried a shot from Mason Mount and Jack Marriott nodded in the loose ball.

But in the fifth minute of added time, substitute Fellaini headed in a Diogo Dalot cross to force the shootout.

Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus was one of several big names in their lineup and scored after 36 minutes with a header before Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden wrapped up proceedings late on.

Blackpool piled misery on second-tier Queens Park Rangers with a 2-0 win.

Fulham’s Cyrus Christie scored with a stunning long-range strike as it ran out 3-1 winners at Millwall, while Andros Townsend grabbed two goals for Crystal Palace as it triumphed 3-0 at former Premier League side West Bromwich Albion.

Gareth Ainsworth’s Wycombe Wanderers almost fought back from 4-1 down following a Jordan Rhodes hat-trick for visitors Norwich City but despite their valiant efforts they lost 4-3.

Middlesbrough won a shootout 4-3 at Preston North End after the game finished 2-2, while Leicester City beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 on penalties after a 0-0 Midlands derby draw.

Bayern loses 100 percent record

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich dropped points for the first time this season as Felix Goetze scored a late equalizer for Augsburg at his old club in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw.

Despite the draw, Bayern stays two points clear of second-placed Werder Bremen.

Elsewhere, Schalke remains bottom of the league after suffering its fifth straight defeat, crashing 1-0 at Freiburg.

Earlier, Werder Bremen moved up to second with a 3-1 win at home to Hertha Berlin, who dropped to third.

Inter tops Fiorentina

Inter Milan overcame one of its notorious lapses to beat Fiorentina 2-1 in Serie A and notch its third win in a week Tuesday.

Atletico blanks Huesca

First-half goals from Antoine Griezmann, Thomas Partey and Koke helped a resurgent Atletico Madrid secure a 3-0 home victory over Huesca in La Liga Tuesday.

Earlier, fifth-placed Espanyol maintained its positive start to the season with a 1-0 victory over Eibar, while 17th-placed Rayo Vallecano earned a point away at Real Sociedad with a 2-2 draw. — Agencies
