They have one man, star young forward Marcus Rashford, to thank for their victory on Wednesday.

Rashford scored two goals in the Red Devils’ triumph over Chelsea, including one ridiculous free-kick goal that will go down as one of the most impressive strikes in the history of the competition.

The 22-year-old opened the scoring for Man U with a penalty shot that was blasted past Chelsea goalie Willy Caballero in the 25th minute of the game. The Manchester native had no problems converting from the spot after winger Daniel James was fouled by Marcus Alonso in the box.

Chelsea evened the scoring in the 61st minute after a Michy Batshuayi strike that Sergio Romero could do nothing to stop.

Rashford’s more impressive goal, however, gave Man U a 1-2 advantage that they wouldn’t relinquish after the Manchester native buried an incredibly difficult 30-yard free-kick strike that Caballero could do nothing to stop.

Manchester United got a big win on Wednesday, and they will look to advance to the competition’s semi-finals when they host Colchester United FC on December 17th at Old Trafford.

Arsenal made it through the next round after their victory over former two-time UCL champions Nottingham Forest, with a comfortable 5-0 win at Emirates Stadium.  Unai Emery rested his main players for this cup tie against the Championship side Nottingham, but even the young players were too much for the once-powerful English club.  Young Brazilian Martinelli scored two goals, followed by Rob Holding, Reiss Nelson and Joseph Wilock, each of them scoring once. 

Liverpool had an easy night in Milton Kayens, winning by 0-2 on Stadium MK. Just like Unai Emery, Jurgen Klopp changed his starting 11, giving an opportunity to the young players on the roster. James Milner scored the first goal for the Reds in the 41^st minute,  with the 17-year-old Dutch player Ki-Jana Hoever scored the 2^nd goal in the 69^th minute. 

There will be another derby in the EFL Cup as Chelsea hosts Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

On Tuesday night at Colchester Community Stadium in the East of England, both Tottenham Hotspur and the tiny, fourth-division club of Colchester United were reminded of that reality.

The League Two club, which normally finds itself facing teams like Exeter City and Macclesfield Town, had their moment of glory after winning a penalty shootout against the 2019 Champions League runner-ups in the Third Round of the competition.

After playing to a 0-0 draw in regulation, The U’s were able to squeak past Tottenham after winning a penalty shootout 4-3. When Lucas Moura’s penalty shot to force a fifth and final round clanged off of the post, pandemonium erupted as Colchester’s fans celebrated one of the biggest victories in the history of the humble club.

Amazingly, this is the second consecutive Premier League team that Colchester United has beaten in this year’s EFL Cup competition. They also held Crystal Palace to a 0-0 regulation draw before winning a penalty shootout in the last round of the competition.

Spurs will look to get back on track in EPL action against Southampton on Saturday after experiencing more than a little frustration in their shock Tuesday elimination.
