Fulham Edges Past Tottenham

In a nail-biting finish at Craven Cottage, Fulham triumphed over Tottenham Hotspur 5-3 in a penalty shootout. The 1-1 draw in regular time saw Fulham lead through an unfortunate own goal by Tottenham's Micky van de Ven. Spurs, trailing behind, managed to find an equalizer with Richarlison's brilliant header in the 56th minute. However, Davinson Sanchez's missed penalty and crucial goals by Fulham's duo, Joao Palhinha and Kenny Tete, sealed the deal for the home team.

Leeds United's Upset by Salford City

In an unexpected turn, Leeds United faced defeat in a tense penalty shootout against League Two's Salford City. Both teams missed a shot in the initial round, but it was Leeds' Jamie Shackleton's missed attempt that paved the way for Ossama Ashley to clinch a sensational win for Salford.

A Resilient Comeback by Crystal Palace

After trailing 2-0 against Plymouth Argyle, Crystal Palace showcased a roaring comeback. Ben Waine and Luke Cundle's goals for Plymouth seemed to set the stage, but Odsonne Edouard's strike, followed by a stellar hat-trick from Jean-Philippe Mateta, turned the tables as Palace secured a 4-2 victory.
