The Carabao Cup draw for the quarter-finals has been made. At last.
The live stream for the relatively simple task of drawing balls out of a pot descended into farce as the cup organisers experienced ‘minor technical difficulties’ which delayed the draw by over 90 minutes.
The blunder was the latest in a series of problems to hit the League Cup this season, with fans growing impatient at the ineptitude of the draws.
