A fine fifa coins curling effort

 

QPR, who came into the game on the back of a 4-0 hammering by Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, were not the only Premier League outfit to fall prey to giantkillers as Aston Villa also exited beaten 1-0 by third tier side Leyton Orient, Romain Vincelot's goal three minutes from time proving the difference. They joined several other Premier League sides, most notably Manchester United, to fail to make it through to the third round.

 

Both last season's finalists did make it to Wednesday's third round draw with holders Manchester City getting a home draw with Sheffield Wednesday while Sunderland, who beat Birmingham City 3-0 on Wednesday, will host Stoke City in an all Premier League tie.

 

Redknapp, whose side are yet to win in three matches this season, was phlegmatic about the humiliating defeat which earned Burton a home game with Championship side Brighton. "You give players an opportunity and you hope they can take it. But they didn't' take the opportunity tonight," he told BBC radio.

 

"Nobody wants to get beat. You want to win every game. We came here - I picked a strong team on paper - with senior players, but they were poor and didn't take the RS Gold . We were short of quality tonight."
