EFL Cup Round-up: Fabregas' extra-time show puts Chelsea past Leicester

Chelsea came back from 2-0 down to win their League Cup third round tie at Leicester 4-2.

Cesc Fabregas scored twice in extra-time to send the Blues into the fourth round.

Shinzi Okazaki had scored twice for Leicester in the opening half but a goal from Gary Cahill and a spectacular strike from Cesar Azpilicueta put Chelsea on level terms.

Marcin Wasilewski was sent off on 89 minutes for Leicester.

Last season's runners-up Liverpool were through comfortably, having beaten Derby County 3-0 thanks to goals from Ragnar Klavan, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi.

Arsenal secured a convincing 4-0 victory at Nottingham Forest with new signing Lucas Perez's doubles sandwiched by goals from Granit Xhaka and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, but Everton suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Norwich, whose opener came from former Toffees forward Steven Naismith.

Bournemouth are also out, having lost 3-2 to Preston in extra-time.

Newcastle progressed with a 2-0 triumph over Wolves, Leeds edged out Blackburn 1-0 and and Reading got past Brighton by a 2-1 scoreline.
