Chicharito made the most of his rare appearance on the pitch with a 46th minute goal, which is enough for Manchester United to hurdle past Liverpool in the third round of the Capital One Cup this early morning, Philippine time, at the Old Trafford. His goal also eclipses the return of Luis Suarez from suspension.
In other matches, Arsenal overcame West Bromwich Albion in penalties, 4-3, after regulation and extra time ended in a 1-1 standoff. Birmingham surprised defending champion Swansea, 3-1, while Newcastle and Stoke defeated lower table clubs with similar 2-0 scorelines.
The fourth round, which will be played in the last week of October, will pit Sunderland against Southampton, Leicester City hosting Fulham, Birmingham City going up against Stoke City, Manchester United facing Norwich City, West Ham United visiting Burnley, Arsenal testing Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur meeting Hull City, and Newcastle United battling Manchester City.
