A crowd of 22,249 packed into the Stadium of Light as Sunderland were knocked out of the Carabao Cup after a dramatic second-round defeat on penalties to Huddersfield Town.
Marc Guiu’s first goal for the club cancelled out Leo Castledine’s opener, but the Black Cats were beaten 6-5 in the shootout after Milan Aleksic’s decisive miss. Despite the result, there were plenty of passionate scenes in the stands as Sunderland supporters got behind their side under the lights.
