Overview

• League Two Grimsby advanced after a 2-2 draw at Blundell Park and a 26-penalty shootout that ended when Bryan Mbeumo hit the crossbar following Christy Pym’s save from Matheus Cunha.
• Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren put the hosts 2-0 up before Mbeumo struck and Harry Maguire equalised in the 89th minute.
• Amorim said the best team won, issued a public apology, and added that “something has to change” at the club.
• Match reports highlighted errors by goalkeeper André Onana on both Grimsby goals in his first appearance of the season.
• It was United’s first defeat to a fourth-tier side in this competition and it deepens scrutiny before Saturday’s league game, as Grimsby manager David Artell lauded a “terrific night” for the club.
