Sunderland 1-1 Crewe Alexandra (pens 3-5) - Visitors win on penalties in Carabao Cup first round

Harvey Davies' penalty save helped Crewe triumph

On-loan Liverpool goalkeeper Harvey Davies was the hero as Crewe pulled off a shock EFL Cup penalty shootout win at Sunderland.

The 19-year-old saved Pierre Ekwah's kick, with all five Alex players hitting the target and Ryan Cooney scoring the winning penalty.

That put a dampener on a historic evening for Sunderland striker Chris Rigg.

Rigg's goal, just 51 days after his 16th birthday, made him the youngest goalscorer in Sunderland's history, after he became their youngest-ever outfield player last season.

Skipper Luke Offord headed Crewe in front in first-half injury time.

Rigg's goal temporarily denied them the win and they had the outstanding Davies to thank for a fine save from Bradley Dack deep into added time.

Crewe had shocked Offord with a header at the back post from Joel Tabiner's cross to put the away side a goal up at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray responded with a triple substitution at half-time, sending on Dack, Ekwah and Ben Crompton.

Rigg's big moment came when Crewe failed to deal with a cross from Jack Clarke, and he finished confidently to square the tie, and eventually send it to penalties.

Crewe were impeccable from the spot as Elliott Nevitt, Chris Long, Rio Adebisi, and Tabiner all scored, before Ekwah's kick was saved by Davies.

That left Cooney with the task of winning it, and he tucked away his spot-kick to do just that.
