Jorgen Strand Larsen scored twice to help Crystal Palace secure a 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup third round, advancing the Premier League side to the fourth round. Strand Larsen, who was once a transfer target for Middlesbrough during the summer of 2022, struck once before halftime and again early in the second half to put Palace firmly in control. Substitute Daichi Kamada added a third goal with a delicate lob over keeper Sol Brynn as Palace capitalized on counterattacking opportunities in a match largely dominated by Middlesbrough’s attacking efforts.

Middlesbrough, competing in the Championship, named their leading scorer Will Lankshear on the bench and made eight changes from their previous lineup, yet struggled to convert chances despite significant pressure in the final third. Palace also rotated their squad heavily but demonstrated clinical finishing to maintain their advantage.

Elsewhere in the competition, Newcastle United earned a late 1-0 win against Millwall. Joe Willock’s goal in the 81st minute secured the victory for Newcastle, which battled an injury-hit Millwall team. The goal resulted from a well-worked move initiated by Harvey Barnes and involving new signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Lewis Hall.

Sunderland advanced with a narrow 1-0 win over Hull City. Chemsdine Talbi’s finish, lifting the ball over the goalkeeper Dillon Phillips, proved decisive as Sunderland dominated the chances. The defeat marked Hull’s first loss of the season. Sunderland made several changes, with manager Regis Le Bris handing debuts to Dayann Methalie, Jules Ahoka, and Malick Fofana, the latter coming off the bench.

Bournemouth secured a comprehensive 4-0 victory at home to Lincoln City, with Ryan Christie scoring a hat-trick to claim his first win under manager Marco Rose. Christie’s goals came early and late in the match, while Rayan added a late goal after coming on as a substitute.

In an all-League One fixture, Bradford City came from behind to beat Leyton Orient 3-1. Nick Powell, a former Manchester United player, scored Bradford’s third goal to seal the win.

The results set up the line-ups for the Carabao Cup fourth-round draw, with several teams adjusting their squads as they balance domestic league commitments and cup competition.
