Grimsby Stun Man United in Carabao Cup Penalty Thriller

League Two side Grimsby Town produced a famous 12-11 penalty shootout victory over Manchester United to knock Ruben Amorim's side out of the Carabao Cup at Blundell Park on Wednesday. Bryan Mbeumo missed the decisive spot-kick, sending the ball off the crossbar as home fans celebrated a historic upset.

This was United's first appearance in the second round of the competition since 2014, when they lost 4-0 at MK Dons. Grimsby took the lead through Charles Vernam, assisted by former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Darragh Burns, before Tyrell Warren capitalised on a mistake by United goalkeeper Andre Onana to double the advantage.

Substitute Mbeumo pulled one back for the visitors, and Harry Maguire's stoppage-time header forced a 2-2 draw to take the match to penalties. Onana saved a spot-kick from new signing Clarke Oduour, and Matheus Cunha missed the chance to win it for United, but the shootout continued until Mbeumo's miss sealed Grimsby's triumph.
