Caroly Town from the fourth division not only surprised everyone today (Sunday) and knocked Leeds out of the Premier League in the last 32 stage of the English Cup, she also did it in style with a big 0: 3 at home on the way to the quarterfinals.
After a zeroed first half, Marcelo Bailesa made three changes to Leeds’ squad and took out his brakemen, Pascal Struick and Liam Cooper. He paid for it very quickly: Nicolas Tsarola of Cyprus put Crowley in the lead in the 50th minute and Ashley Nadassen doubled in three minutes. Leeds tried to get back in the game but conceded another humiliating goal from Jordan Toniccliffe who attended the celebration (70).

The Blues traveled to Murkamb from the Fourth Division en route to a 4-4 win at Stamford Bridge. Mason Mount (18), Timo Werner (44), Callum Hudson-Audrey (49) and Kai Haberz (85) scored for the London team.
