PSV 5-1 Rangers, Doncaster 1-2 Everton: Carabao Cup and Champions League – as it happened | Football

Thanks for reading this Clockwatch! Nighty night.

Now, then, that’s quite a draw. The holders Manchester United welcome Crystal Palace, one of five all-Premier-League ties. The pick of the bunch is probably Newcastle-City, but then all the others look pretty tasty as well. Salford’s reward for defeating Leeds is the visit of a Premier League team in Burnley, while Lincoln’s defeat of Sheffield United earns them another shy at a top-flight team in West Ham. People talk this competition down sometimes, but the second round has been wonderfully entertaining, and the third round has thrown up quite a few potential crackers. Good old League Cup!

• Blackburn Rovers v Cardiff City

Aaron Bower was in Donny to see a new Everton hero emerge. Step forward Adrian Heath Beto!

A reminder that the draw for the third round of the Carabao Cup will be coming up in a few minutes. As for this week’s European draws …

Jacob Steinberg was at Stamford Bridge tonight. Here’s his report.

Full-time scores

FULL TIME: Doncaster Rovers 1-2 Everton. What a debut for Beto, the Adrian Heath de nos jours. What a spirited effort by the Football League’s bottom club, though.

FULL TIME: PSV Eindhoven 5-1 Rangers (agg 7-3). It’s the Europa League for the Light Blues. Sweet revenge for PSV, who were knocked out of the Champions League at this stage by Rangers last year.

FULL TIME: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Burnley. Burnley snatched a late winner, sending the four-time winners crashing out at the first hurdle. On Sky, Forest fan and cub reporter Stuart Broad smiles wryly. He’s going to turn his phone off tonight, he says.

GOAL! Doncaster 1-2 Everton (Danjuma 88). Beto’s scored his first goal for Everton tonight; now it’s Arnaut Danjuma’s turn! He cuts in from the left, drops a shoulder to make space, and whips a low shot into the bottom left. Everton have turned it around, and in some style it has to be said. As superb in the second half as they were dreadful in the first.

FULL TIME: Sheffield United 0-0 Lincoln City (Lincoln win 3-2 on penalties). John Egan blazes a dreadful penalty over the bar, and Sheffield United become the first Premier League team to be knocked out by lower-league opposition.

FULL TIME: Chelsea 2-1 AFC Wimbledon. The Dons made Chelsea work for their win. Mauricio Pochettino’s dream of a first trophy in English football goes on!

Hats off to Beto, who didn’t let that awful shanked effort bother him. Having scored the equaliser with a cute flick of the boot, he’s now hit the woodwork with a header. He looks a player of extreme highs and lows. Another agent of chaos on Merseyside? What an entertainer.

GOAL! PSV Eindhoven 5-1 Rangers (Goldson og 81); agg 7-3. This is completely farcical. Jack Butland rolls a pass out to Connor Goldson, who doesn’t look around him and rolls a pass into the bottom left. Michael Beale’s coat isn’t on that shoogly peg quite yet, but defeat against Celtic this weekend would put him on the hotseat.

GOAL! PSV Eindhoven 4-1 Rangers (Veerman 78); agg 6-3. Joey Veerman swivels and steers a shot into the bottom left. If this wasn’t over already, it is now.

FULL TIME: Sheffield United 0-0 Lincoln.
FULL TIME: Harrogate 0-8 Blackburn.
One game is going to penalties. One, er, isn’t. That’s Blackburn’s biggest away win in their 148-year history!

GOAL! Nottingham Forest 0-1 Burnley (Amdouni 90). Burnley have found a winner against the run of play! Forest push hard. Sander Berge launch a counter. Some pinball in the box. Zeki Amdouni takes it down on the edge of the six-yard box before slamming home. Pity poor Stuart Broad in the Sky studio, who bravely takes the news on the chin.

Rangers haven’t given up the ghost yet. Rabbi Matondo drops a shoulder to make some space 25 yards out and sends a curler towards the top right … but off the post and away. It’s still 3-1 to PSV and 5-3 on aggregate.

GOAL! Doncaster 1-1 Everton (Beto 73). “Time for Adrian Heath,” writes Gary Naylor, with reference to Oxford United, Kevin Brock, Howard Kendall, all that. And here he comes, in the shape of Beto! Seconds after shanking disastrously, comically, ineptly wide from the edge of the box, Everton’s new signing comes again, charging down the inside-left channel before sticking out his right leg and deftly flicking past the keeper and into the net. Such a cool, classy, brilliant finish! From the ridiculous to the sublime in short order.

GOAL! PSV 3-1 Rangers (De Jong 64); agg 5-3. Er, scrub that. Game over. A free kick out on the left for PSV. It’s swung in fiercely. Luuk De Jong rises highest and eyebrows it into the top right. Lovely delivery, even better header, and there goes that dream.

GOAL! PSV 2-1 Rangers (Tavernier 64); agg 4-3. The dream isn’t over quite yet! Todd Cantwell wedges down the left. Sam Lammers whistles a cross through the six-yard box. James Tavernier slides home at the far post. Game on!

GOAL! Harrogate 0-8 Blackburn (Edmondson 75). James Edmondson races through the middle to score, and Rovers can start thinking about their all-time record win, which is an 11-0 rout of Rossendale United at Ewood Park in the FA Cup in 1884.

GOAL! Chelsea 2-1 AFC Wimbledon (Fernandez 72). Enzo Fernandez scores his first goal for Chelsea, curling into the right-hand side of the net. Some bad luck for Alex Bass during the build-up, as his clearance slammed straight into Ian Maatsen and into the path of the Argentinian World Cup winner.

GOAL! Harrogate 0-7 Blackburn (Bloxham 72). Harrogate ship possession on the edge of their own box. Thomas Bloxham dribbles down the inside-left channel and threads a shot into the bottom right. As things stand, this is the biggest away win in Blackburn’s history, besting the 8-2 win at West Ham in 1963.

GOAL! PSV 2-0 Rangers (Saibari 53); agg 4-2. A right-to-left diagonal towards Luuk De Jong, six yards out. De Jong hooks across the face of goal. Ismael Saibari trundles it in. It looks like the Europa League for Rangers.

GOAL! Harrogate 0-6 Blackburn (Gilsenan 67). The 2002 winners showing Harrogate no mercy whatsoever. Zak Gilsenan curls a free kick from the right-hand side of the D into the top-right corner.

… but the first chance of the second half falls to Doncaster. Everton once again fail to deal with a short corner, and the ball’s worked back to George Broadbent, who should do better from the edge of the box. He sends in a dribbler that’s easy meat for Jordan Pickford. But that’s not any better from Everton, who came back out for the second half very late, having presumably been given a good long talking-to by Sean Dyche.

Doncaster and Everton are back. The Blues have sent on Beto for his debut. Idrissa Gueye and Ashley Young as well, the latter doing a lot of performative clapping. Come on lads, that sort of thing. Everton do indeed need to come on. Youssef Chermiti, Nathan Patterson and Lewis Dobbin are the players making way.

Wimbledon are still holding their own at Chelsea. Conor Gallagher reduced to shooting from distance in the speculative fashion. “J Buckley has scored for a rampant Blackburn against Harrogate? Rovers fans must be singing Hallelujah!” Peter Oh, ladies and gentlemen. He’s here all week. Try the bottled water.
