7:00 pm on 26 September 2008

Chelsea have beaten Portsmouth 4-0 at Fratton Park in the third round of the English football League Cup.

High-flying Aston Villa were beaten 1-nil by Championship side Queens Park Rangers, while bottom-of-the-table Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed a morale-boosting 2-1 victory at managerless Newcastle United.

Blackburn Rovers beat Everton 1-nil in an all-Premier League clash at Ewood Park and Wigan Athletic won 4-1 at Ipswich Town to book their place in the fourth round.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal all won their third-round ties yesterday.

Kilmarnock, Hamilton and Rangers were third round winners today in the Scottish League Cup.
