Carabao Cup: Port Vale 0-0 Crewe Alexandra (2-0 pens): Vale through on penalties against rivals

Port Vale edged past Staffordshire rivals Crewe into the third round of the Carabao Cup on penalties

Crewe missed all four spot-kicks as they crashed out 2-0 on penalties to Port Vale in the Carabao Cup after the match ended goalless in normal time.

It was a horror show for the visitors at Vale Park as Elliott Nevitt blasted over the bar before Connor Ripley produced a good save to keep out Chris Long's penalty.

Rio Adebisi rattled the bar and Joel Tabiner's miss ended their misery.

Thomas Sang failed with Vale's third spot-kick after James Wilson and Oliver Arblaster had scored the first two.

The hosts had the majority of the chances but could not break down the Alex inside 90 minutes.

Adebisi wasted a great chance to fire the visitors ahead as he poked over from close range. Down the other end, Crewe goalkeeper Harvey Davies produced a good save to keep out Alex Iacovitti's header at the back post.

Vale made a triple change to try and force a result but former Manchester United man Wilson's audacious effort barely troubled Davies, who then saved from him again after he had been fed by Sheffield United loanee Arblaster.

Arblaster's long-range strike flew just over the bar with five minutes to go before penalties decided the outcome.
