Watford wastefulness helps Stoke steal Carabao Cup upset

Two late goals saw Watford suffer a shock defeat to Championship side Stoke City in the Carabao Cup.

Nick Powell opened the scoring for Stoke after 25 minutes against a Watford side who made 11 changes from the team who beat Norwich City last weekend.

Ashley Fletcher poked in a leveller but that was the only reward from 26 shots on goal for Xisco Munoz's side.

Instead, the Potters creeped in late to snatch victory with goals from Sam Clucas and Josh Tymon.
