Manchester United 2-3 Brighton, Coventry 1-3 Aston Villa and more: Carabao Cup clockwatch – live

Key events

Jamie Jackson saw the United meltdown.

Redknapp is now very angry about Karl Darlow getting a chance. It’s good stuff.

I disagree with his suggestion that he does not understand giving the No 2 goalkeeper in these games. They need to be as sharp as possible if the first choice suffers an injury. Maybe the problem is that Darlow is not an elite goalkeeper.

Redknapp is absolutely furious with Yoro and Heaven. He seems upset that he’s been forced to watch them play.

Niall Mullen says: “Zirkzee is a better scrabble score than a footballer. If scrabble allowed proper nouns and had more than one tile with a ‘z’ on it. Also he’s a pretty good footballer having become a highly paid professional. All that said I guess he’s a much better footballer than he is a scrabble score.”

Jamie Redknapp calls Yoro and Heaven '“inept”.

Pascal Gross: “It was frustrating, it’s not the first time, it’s the third time we have started slow.

“We came here last season and won, it gave us believe.”

Jason Steele: “I know it sounds cliche but we genuinely did [think we could come back]. We didn’t start well, we gave away two poor goals.

“We had a lot of chances tonight, sometimes we missed that final touch at the end. We played really well tonight. We showed some character again, we’ve got a great bunch of boys. We have top, top human beings in there.”

Thomas Tuchel still thinks he was right …

The Great Ben Fisher was in Coventry. Here is his report.

Zirkzee was, unsurprisingly, terrible. Surely United should have made more effort to sell him earlier in the window in the hope of getting a better replacement in. Sesko was also poor. Not a good night for strikers.

Maybe JJ Gabriel should head to MLS.

That game on Sunday at Fulham feels massive for Carrick now. With such a long gap before the next game, he needs some positivity going into the international break.

Full time: Coventry 1-3 Aston Villa

A straightforward night for Villa as Abraham scores two.

Full-time: Manchester United 2-3 Brighton

An incredible comeback from the Seagulls who thoroughly deserve the win against a side who offered little after scoring twice in the opening 10 minutes.

The boos ring around Old Trafford.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: United can’t work out how to lump it into the box …

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: Fernandes decides to take matters into his own hands by letting fly from 25 yards but it goes high and wide.

David Wall says: “I know people will talk about Carrick being under pressure after their mediocre start to the season but surely that’s little more serious than United being expected (even after all this time) to win every game. I can’t believe anyone is seriously thinking that he should lose his job. If they have then they’ve lost the plot, and if they’re part of the club then they’re exactly the reason why they’ve got themselves into a position where it’s still to expect them to win every game.”

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: De Cuyper is booked for delaying the restart.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: Fernandes shouts at Zirkzee who cannot challenge for a long ball because he is offside.

FIVE MINUTES ADDED ON.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: Tielemans does well to spin a defender but his cross drifts over the crossbar.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: Zirkzee gets the ball just inside the Brighton half, he looks up but there is no one ahead of him, so he turns around and is tackled.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: I am not sure the atmosphere at Old Trafford is mutinous yet but it is going that way.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: Ayari wins the ball from Zirkzee but then flies into a challenge with Heaven and is booked because it’s a poor attempt at a challenge.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: Gross slips the ball through to Gomez who should score but hits it straight at Darlow’s chest from close range. This game should be done and dusted.

Full time: Everton 1-0 Wolves

Alcaraz secures progression.

Full time! Fleetwood 1-0 Sheffield United

We have a shock on our hands as the League Two side knock out Championship Blades. The Cod Army are in the fourth round for the first time in their history. A huge night in Fleetwood.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: Could this be the day Zirkzee proves himself to be a footballer? I would doubt it.

Cunha being prepared.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: Fernandes sends Rashford through with a lovely touch but Steele gets the better of the United man when one-on-one.

Lou Otway asks: “Carrick out. Too soon?

I would suggest it is. One problem is if Carrick is sacked soon, then Jason Wilcox would struggle to survive another failure.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: Fernandes is on for Mount. Carrick cannot have anticipated this move when two goals up.

Fleetwood 1-0 Sheffield United: The Blades are doing all they can to force an equaliser.

“I do not think I’ve heard Mason Mounts name mentioned once in the second half?” ponders Paul.

This could be why Fernandes is coming on.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton: United have never EVER lost from being two goals ahead at Old Trafford.

GOAL! Manchester United 2-3 Brighton (De Cuyper, 70)

What a comeback, what a shambles from United. It is a smart move concluding with Kostoulas’ cross being deflected to De Cuyper who does the rest.
