League Cup: Championship sides knocked out on night of upsets



Seven Championship sides were knocked out by lower-league clubs on a dramatic night in the League Cup first round.
Blackburn Rovers lost 2-1 at home to League One side Shrewsbury,while Brentford were comprehensively beaten 4-0 by Oxford United of League Two.
Bristol City lost 3-1 at Luton, Nottingham Forest lost 4-3 to Walsall, while Burnley lost 1-0 to Port Vale.
And to round off the night, Burton were 1-0 victors at Bolton and Notts County triumphed 2-1 at Huddersfield.
And there was almost another shock as Accrington twice fought back from a goal down to force penalties at home to Hull who, like Burnley, were relegated from the Premier League last year.
It was the Championship side who prevailed at the Wham Stadium, however, with Matt Crooks blazing the decisive spot-kick over the bar.
