Northampton vs. Manchester United: Score, Reaction from EFL Cup 3rd-Round Match

Manchester United claimed their first win in four matches, beating Northampton Town 3-1 at Sixfields Stadium to advance to the fourth round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday.

Michael Carrick opened the scoring with a sumptuous effort, but an Alex Revell penalty kick ensured the teams went in level at the break.

Ander Herrera's fine strike put United back in front in the second half, and substitute Marcus Rashford capitalised on a goalkeeper error to add a third.

United started brightly and forged two chances in the opening minutes, but both were squandered by Wayne Rooney, who started up front.
