Charlton drawn twice as first 'Carabao Cup' draw descends into farce

Held in Bangkok for sponsorship reasons, the first-round draw of the competition formerly known as the League Cup was plagued with technical problems

The first draw for the rebranded Carabao Cup - formerly known as the EFL Cup and League Cup - descended into farce on Thursday when Charlton Athletic came out of the hat twice.

After initially being handed an away match against Exeter City, Charlton were then listed on an on-screen graphic as having a second tie at home to Cheltenham Town.

Hahaha what a mess of a draw, charlton have been drawn twice and they've not even noticed#CarabaoCup pic.
