Last night: Will Fish fires Cardiff past old foes Wrexham and into Carabao Cup quarter-finals
Will Fish’s thumping volley secured League One side Cardiff a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals as Wrexham were punished for their poor performance in Tuesday’s all-Wales encounter.
The Red Dragons’ dreams of reaching the last eight of the competition for the first time since 1978 went up in smoke as the ambitious Championship outfit fell to a disheartening defeat at a subdued SToK Cae Ras.
Wrexham substitute Kieffer Moore equalised against his former club, who had deservedly led through Yousef Salech, but Cardiff were not to be denied as Fish’s fizzing finish earned a 2-1 victory in the sides’ first meeting in 21 years.

Last night: Fulham survive shootout against League One Wycombe to reach Carabao Cup quarter-finals
Fulham survived a mighty scare to edge past Wycombe 5-4 on penalties to progress to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals after a 1-1 draw at Adams Park.
Josh King scored his first goal in senior football to equalise for the Premier League side at the start of the second half after Cauley Woodrow netted in the fourth minute against his former club.
The League One side then held out as Marco Silva’s team put them under waves of pressure, surviving a heart-stopping moment deep in added time when Anders Hagelskjaer cleared Kevin’s strike off the line.
In the shoot-out that followed, Fulham twice missed the chance to win it as Ryan Sessegnon and Jonah Kusi-Asare were denied by goalkeeper Will Norris.
But the hosts could not take advantage and after Donnell McNeilly’s kick was saved, Issa Diop thumped in the winner.

Last night: Brentford emphatically end Grimsby’s Carabao Cup adventure with fourth-round thrashing
Brentford cruised into the last eight of the Carabao Cup with a clinical 5-0 win at Blundell Park that ended Grimsby’s impressive run in the competition.
The Mariners famously beat Manchester United here in the second round and saw off Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in round three, but a raucous crowd was subdued by two goals in five first-half minutes as the Bees established a 3-0 lead at the interval.
Mathias Jensen opened the scoring from 20 yards, Keane Lewis-Potter headed home a second and Reiss Nelson effectively put the tie to bed before the break.
Fabio Carvalho added a fourth from the penalty spot and substitute Nathan Collins headed in a fifth.
