Bradford, Newport and Stevenage knock out Championship sides

An eventful evening in the first round of the Carabao Cup, which saw three League Two sides upset three Championship sides.

In Bradford, Andy Cook scored twice just before half-time after an own goal from goalkeeper Harry Lewis as the Bantams came from behind to beat Hull City 2-1.

At Kenilworth Road Stadium, a late strike from James Waite saw Newport County complete an amazing comeback against Luton Town with a 3-2 win.

A much-changed Reading side was surprised by Stevenage, with Danny Rose firing the winner in the 89th minute as Steve Evans' side upset Paul Ince's men 2-1 at the Madejski Stadium.

Meanwhile, there were also interesting results across the round with a hammering from the newly-promoted to League One Exeter City, who thrashed Cheltenham 7-0 at the Completely Suzuki Stadium.

League Two side Colchester stunned local rivals Ipswich at Portman Road with a 1-0 win. Luke Hannant pounced a terrible pass across his own penalty box by Rakeem Harper.
