TARGET! Leicester City 1-0 Newport (44 Justin). Well this was worth the wait! James Justin comes in from the right and aims a curling pearl into the top left corner from 25 yards. A fine finish from James Justin gives Leicester City the lead just before half-time. Photo: Jason Cairnduff/Action Images/Reuters Updated at 20:37 GMT It’s a night for purists. No big deal. To help you in the long run… TARGET! Burnley 1-1 Crawley (24 Barnes). Ashley Barnes makes up for his earlier miss by meeting a deep left cross and sending a header into the top left corner. Not such a good day for Telford et al now. TARGET! Brentford 1-0 Gillingham (Tony 3). On the late cross, an early lead for the home team. Mikkel Damsgaard brings down a high ball with a heavenly touch and crosses for Ivan Toney, who can’t miss from six yards. Brentford’s Ivan Toney opens the scoring.

Ellery Balcombe in Crawley goals long range. Dominic Telford suddenly finds himself in the clear. Here it goes! Easy as that. Charles Rip will love this. TARGET! Stevenage 1-0 Charlton (Norris 22 pen). Luke Norris gives Stevenage the lead against the 1947 FA Cup winners from the spot. “It pains me to see the confrontation of ‘Lincoln’ and ‘Virtue’ in a day when the US was badly divided! USA!! USA!!! is heading to the polls.” Peter Oh, ladies and gentlemen, with political satire to spare. TARGET! MK Dons 1-0 Morecambe (O’Hora 18). Warren O’Hora gives MK Dons the lead over League One compatriots Morecambe, scoring a superb diagonal volley into the bottom right from 12 yards. Warren O’Hora of Milton Keynes Dons celebrates with team mates after scoring their team’s first goal against Morecambe. Photo: David Rogers/Getty Images Updated at 20:10 GMT TARGET! Bristol City 0-2 Lincoln (House 15). In the center circle, Ben House dislodges young centre-back Joe Lowe from the ball with some sweet energy, marches into the Bristol City box and blasts home. A shock is on the cards here as the League One side double their lead over the Championship men. Ashley Barnes sees the rush of Davies’ blood and brings him up like a ragtag at Turf Moor. He hits from inside the six-yard box when it was certainly easier to slot, and it remains Burnley 0-0 Crawley. Tom Davies just missed an Everton player at Dean Court. Anthony Gordon sent to clear from the middle and it shoots wildly from the edge of the box. A proper rush of blood to the noggin. It remains 1-0 for Bournemouth. TARGET! Bristol City 0-1 Lincoln (Virtue 6). Absolute belter, this one. Matty Virtue takes a touch down the left side and sends a thermos to the top left. The net was inflated in a very pleasing goal-frame-foundation testing fashion. Lincoln City’s Matty Virtue (centre) celebrates after opening the scoring with a fine strike.

It didn’t take long for Gary Naylor’s nightmare to begin to unfold. Jamal Lowe (right) gives Bournemouth an early lead.

CHANGES BY TEAM. As painstakingly recorded by the Guardian’s official Carabao Cup Commitment team, using the patented Taking Things Seriously-o-meter™. 11: Everton 9: Bournemouth, Burnley 8: Bristol City 7: Crawley, Leicester, MK Dons 6: Brentford, Lincoln 4: Charlton, Newport, Stevenage 3: Gillingham 1: Morecambe “I’m in the theater for From Here To Eternity,” writes Gary Naylor. “Having seen the Everton team, I suspect that phrase describes my wait for another trophy.”
