The story of the second round so far has been Crawley Town, who threw the formbook out of the window to stun Fulham. Crawley boss Kevin Betsy hailed a “fantastic night” for his League Two strugglers after deservedly dumping Premier League side Fulham out of the Carabao Cup with a stunning 2-0 win

“The players put in an amazing performance,” said former Fulham midfielder Betsy, whose team overcame League One outfit Bristol Rovers in the first round.

“We were relentless in our pressing and our application. We stuck to the game plan extremely well. It worked. It was a fantastic night for everyone.Fulham are a good side. When I looked at the team sheet, I was like ‘Oh my God, there are a lot of good players in there’.

“We’re going through a little difficult patch in the league but in the cup we’re doing quite well.”

Could they get Manchester City or Liverpool in the third round?
