**Manchester, England -** Manchester United enjoyed a dominant victory over third-tier Barnsley on Tuesday, securing a 7-0 win in the English League Cup’s third round. The result marked the biggest margin of victory under manager Erik ten Hag, who described the match as a “perfect night” for the team.

Goals from Marcus Rashford (2), Alejandro Garnacho (2), Christian Eriksen (2), and Antony propelled United to victory. Rashford’s brace came after a recent scoring slump, providing a boost to the striker who managed only nine goals last season. Garnacho also continued his impressive form, netting his third goal in two games.

The win overshadowed a disappointing evening for Everton, who were eliminated by Southampton after a 6-5 penalty shootout loss. The Toffees, bottom of the Premier League, conceded a late equalizer and fell to the Saints in a dramatic penalty shootout.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace emerged victorious against second-division Queens Park Rangers, while Brentford overcame a first-half deficit to defeat Leyton Orient.

The night’s biggest shock came from second-division Preston, who beat Fulham in a record-breaking penalty shootout. The match ended 1-1 after extra time, leading to a 34-penalty shootout that saw Preston emerge victorious.

Other notable results include Stoke’s penalty shootout victory over Fleetwood and Sheffield Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Blackpool.
