EFL Cup holders Manchester City coasted into Round 4 of the competition on Tuesday, as they beat Preston North End 3-0 on the road, while Tottenham Hotspur crashed out at Colchester United.
Spurs were held to a 0-0 draw in normal time by the fourth-tier outfit, meaning there was a penalty shootout at the Colchester Community Stadium. Christian Eriksen and Lucas Moura missed for the visitors, allowing Tom Lapslie to send his team into the next round in dramatic fashion.
At the Emirates Stadium there were no concerns for Arsenal, as they hammered Nottingham Forest 5-0. There was also a 4-0 triumph for Southampton in a much-anticipated derby showdown with Portsmouth at Fratton Park.
