Leeds, Southampton eliminated by lower-league teams in cup

Premier League teams Leeds and Southampton lost to lower-tier opposition in the second round of the English League Cup.

Leeds and Southampton also lost their opening games in the Premier League at the weekend. Brentford's reward is a third-round trip to West Bromwich Albion, which beat fourth-tier Harrogate Town 3-0.

Everton eased past fourth-tier Salford 3-0 thanks to goals by Michael Keane, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Moise Kean, while Aleksandar Mitrovic scored Fulham's goal in a 1-0 win at Ipswich. AP BS BS.
