League Two side Crawley provided the biggest shock of the Carabao Cup second round on Tuesday as they knocked out Premier League side Fulham - a team ranked 73 places above them in the English football pyramid.
Kevin Betsy's side sit second bottom of the English Football League following a single point from five games but deservedly progressed to round three thanks to goals from captain Tom Nichols and Liverpool loanee James Balagizi.
Marco Silva made 10 changes to the side that beat Brentford 3-2 last time out in the Premier League but not even the £16m signing of Issa Diop on debut could deny former Fulham striker Betsy a scalp over his old club.
Charlton reached the Carabao Cup third round for only the second time in 14 seasons with a 1-0 win at League Two side Walsall.

Dele-Bashiru matched Brown's effort with an equally impressive shot from around 25 yards out to increase Wednesday's lead, before Adeniran scored arguably the best goal of the night when he collected the ball in the centre circle and advanced through the middle before beating Cieran Slicker with an unstoppable shot on the run.

Shrewsbury did find the net late on when Chey Dunkley headed in Luke Leahy's cross, but the flag went up for offside and Burnley held on.
It was heartbreak for League Two side Barrow who were moments away from reaching the third round before being beaten on penalties by League One Lincoln City.
Lincoln took the lead in the 8th minute through Anthony Scully but two goals from David Mayo (13) and Ben Whitfield (87) looked to have turned the game around.
Just when it seemed the hosts were heading through, Jordon Garrick scored a 92nd-minute equaliser to send the tie to a shootout and Lincoln goalkeeper Jordan Wright was the hero - saving three spot-kicks to send his team through.

Substitute Ballard added a third late on to ensure Ralph Hasenhuttl's team made it back-to-back wins on the road having gone six months without tasting success away from home prior to Saturday's triumph.
Brentford battled to a hard-fought 2-0 win at League Two Colchester United to progress to the Carabao Cup third round.

Ronan Curtis opened the scoring early in the first half and, while Will Evans equalised with his first Newport goal, Curtis ensured the League One side went into half-time ahead after adding a second.
But Newport levelled again through Aaron Wildig's first goal for the club, after which Waite sealed a surprise win for the League Two team.
Bournemouth edged past Norwich as Todd Cantwell missed the decisive penalty against his old club in a tense shootout following a 2-2 draw at Carrow Road.
