      Burton 0 Leicester 2
      Relegated Leicester avoided suffering from Brewers’ drop as Enzo Maresca’s new look team earned a trip to Tranmere – with Kelechi Iheanacho showing the gulf in class thanks to a sensational opener.
      The Foxes squeezed the home defence with a high press to win back possession and Dennis Praet set up the cross for skipper Marc Albrighton.

      His delicate cenre into the heart of the Burton box caught defenders Jake Caprice and John Brayford busy ball-watching, allowing Iheanacho to ghost between them.
      On the plus side, they had a perfect view of Iheanacho’s magical finish as the Nigerian conjured up a mid-air backheel volley with his back to goal to leave ‘keeper Jamal Blackman gasping.
      Classy or just plain cocky, it set the tone as Burton were forced to chase shadows for most of the night.
      Dino Maamria’s boys hung on grimly and almost snatched an equaliser on 45 minutes when Ryan Sweeney’s header was hurtling towards the net until Callum Doyle stuck out a leg to clear.
      Leicester’s response was swift, slick and merciless as Doyle then played a quick free kick which caught Burton napping.
      Iheanacho sprinted clear and drew Blackman from his goal before setting up Wilfred Ndidi who expertly found the top corner to double the Foxes’ advantage in first-half stoppage time.
      Burton’s 6ft 7″ goalie Blackman did well after the break to prevent Rekeem Harper from finding his own net from close range. Then Harry Winks fired a volley into a yellow wall of Burton defenders before departing to an ovation from his new Foxes fans.
      Spurs fans keenest for a trophy push
      Fulham vs Tottenham in the South and Nottingham Forest vs Burnley in the North are the all-Prem ties lighting up the second-round draw.
      And ironically it’s fans of Spurs – one of the Big Six clubs, traditionally at least – who seem most keen on their side fielding as close to a full-strength side as possible.
      That’s because Tottenham are trophyless for 15 years.
      In contrast, Forest and Burnley supporters are far more focused on staying up in the Premier League.
      Dons joy at bagging Blues
      AFC Wimbledon fans are ecstatic at their reward for a late 2-1 comeback win over Championship side Coventry.
      The League Two team will visit posh Prem neighbours Chelsea in the Carabao Cup second round.
      “Get in, what a night that will be,” said one.
      “Oh my god” and “unreal” were two responses.
      And in a similar vein: “What a draw,” and “It’s happening”.

      ‘Things are about to get tasty, baby’
      A Wrexham fan has labelled their manager’s second-round clash with old club Bradford as “When Parky vs Sparky”.
      Phil Parkinson’s EFL new boys will take on League Two rivals Bradford, managed by Manchester United legend Mark ‘Sparky’ Hughes.
      One supporter posted: “Vs Parkinson in the League Cup? Behave.”
      Upbeat Dragons’ supporters added: “Round 3 here we come!” and “Sold out”
      Wrexham’s Hollywood A-list owner Ryan Reynolds is of course well used to drama.
      But one sensitive fan sounded like he might not be able to take Reynolds’ movies like Deadpool – judging by his reaction to the draw.
      He wrote: “Thank God its not Cardiff my heart couldn’t handle that.”
      But another supporter treated the pairing vs Bradford with a line worthy of the next Deadpool film: “Things are about to get tasty baby.”
      Spurs fans beg Ange to take Fulham seriously
      Tottenham fans are begging new boss Ange Postecoglou to take the Carabao Cup “seriously” after a “damn tough draw” at Prem rivals Fulham.
      Frustrated Spurs supporters last enjoyed silverware with 2008 EFL Cup glory.
      And one pleaded after tonight’s second-round draw: “Take. It. Serious.”
      A second wrote: “Hopefully we take this competition seriously.”
      A third sounded fired up for the derby: “Local game, places to play for.”
      But a pessimistic fourth fan posted: “Damn tough draw early on.”

      Chelsea fans nervous after drawing Dons
      Chelsea fans seemed to react with as much fear as joy after the Prem giants drew League Two ‘neighbours’ AFC Wimbledon in round two.
      Fear – because they believe defeat would leave new boss Mauricio Pochettino with red faces.
      Joy (for a few supporters) – as they reckon it gives Poch an excellent kickstart in his bid for silverware.
      Representing the nervous side, one fan posted: “If we somehow lose this, we are never going to hear the end of it from rival fans.”
      And on the positive front were messages like this: “Easy win” and “We can rotate”.
      A more practical note was sounded by this supporter: “We go hard for this. It’s a must win.”
      O’Neill having a ball…
      Fans couldn’t believe Martin O’Neill’s antics as he did the draw.
      The ex-Leicester boss appeared to talk to the balls rather than the microphone as he helped pick the second-round ties.
      “So funny!” said one viewer,” and “What is he doing?!” asked MORE than one other.

      Giant-Gillers again?
      First-round “giantkillers” Gillingham have an intriguing trip to Prem newcomers Luton.
      The Gills deservedly beat Championship side Southampton 3-1 last night.
      So they must fancy their chances again as the Hatters are likely to rest players.
      Southern section highlights
      Fulham host Tottenham in an all-Prem clash.
      And big-spending Chelsea take on League Two neighbours AFC Wimbledon.
      Ties take place on the week commencing August 28.
      Chelsea vs AFC Wimbledon – DERBY!

      The Wales Under-21 star lit up his second game after switching from Old Trafford to the League One newcomers with a free-kick rocket.
      Championship side Millwall even put up a wall of seven men – well, four players together, a small gap, then three more team-mates linking arms.
      But Leicester-born Savage, 20, whipped a left-footer over them and into the near top corner, killing off the contest at 3-0.
      Away fans rushed down the terraces to celebrate – but if anything they enjoyed what came next more.

      And there was no way the goal itself would be lost on admiring viewers.
      Verdicts full of awe came in, such as: “That’s Savage from Charlie!” and “That cultured left foot”.
      And having also shone in an opening-day 1-0 loss to Peterborough, Savage might so far be happy at departing Old Trafford for regular football.

      Charlie Hughes missed first for League One Latics, while Wrexham – who are a division below them – converted their first four kicks.
      Thelo Aasgaard had to find the net for the visitors – but he blazed over the bar, sending the North Wales side and their fans into a frenzy.
      It was another night of huge drama at the Racecourse which got the blood pumping for Wrexham’s Hollywood owners, who have been living a fairytale since their £2m buyout was completed in 2021.
      Deadpool star Reynolds, 46, tweeted after full-time: “Another year of hearts jumping outta chests like we’re in a f**king Aliens movie.”

      And in a separate, more measured Instagram post, he wrote: “Beautiful work, boys! Onward…”
      Wrexham captain Luke Young had led by example as he fired home the first strike in the shootout.
      Elliott Lee scored next before Tom O’Connor added a third to pile pressure on the visitors.
      Hughes missed and Sam Dalby followed up by slotting past Wigan keeper Sam Tickle, which meant Wrexham had a 100 per cent conversion rate before Aasgaard blasted over.

      I’m Britain’s most loyal football fan… I haven’t missed a game in 50 years & it ended my marriage – I have no regrets

      by

      BRITAIN’S most loyal football fan who hasn’t missed a match for 50 years says he has no regrets – despite his obsession costing him his marriage.Birmingham City supporter Rob Shannon has watched his side more than 2,300 times in a row – first going to see them beat Derby County in 1974.

      But he admits the Championship football club could be to blame for his divorce from his ex-wife, who was a fan of their West Midlands arch rivals Aston Villa.
      Rob said: “She used to say, ‘You love Blues more than me’.
      “I always joked, ‘I love Villa more than you’.”
      The dad-of-two, 64, loyally follows the Blues both home and away – having attended his first game as a four-year-old boy during the 1962-1963 season.

      He has seen them play in all four league divisions – including several stints in the Premier League – as well as all League Cup and FA Cup games over the past half a century.
      Only the Covid-19 pandemic kept him away from their St Andrew’s home ground, when lockdown restrictions forced football clubs to play behind closed doors.
      He said: “My mum and dad took me down when I was a boy around the 62-63 season and I’ve loved going ever since.
      “It’s become a bit of an obsession – I just follow them through thick and thin, although it’s been more like thin and thin.
      Most read in Football
      “People say you must have seen all the ups and downs and I joke it’s mostly downs for Blues.”
      Stand-up comedian Jasper Carrott, another Birmingham City fan, has previously joked: “You lose some, you draw some.”
      Yet Rob, from Sheldon in Birmingham, did get to enjoy a day of glory at Wembley for the match he says is his most cherished.
      City, then managed by ex-Scotland international Alex McLeish, clinched a surprise last-minute 2-1 victory over Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal in the 2011 Carling Cup final.
      Rob said: “My favourite game was without a doubt the Carling Cup final – it was the best day of my life, and the European games that followed were really special too.
      “But any game that we beat the Villa is also my favourite.
      “I’ve also seen a couple of wins at Anfield and Old Trafford, which doesn’t happy very often for us.”
      His favourite player was former Birmingham and England striker Trevor Francis, who became Britain’s first £1million footballer when moving to Nottingham Forest in 1979.
      Rob was saddened by Francis’s death last month at the age of 69 at his home near Marbella in Spain.
      Rob said: “I was devastated when Trevor Francis passed away.
      “I got to know him and his sons – he is still my favourite player.
      “I’m proud to now volunteer at the club as part of their Former Players Association – I get to arrange for ex-players to come back to the club for games.”
      He is also an admirer of ex-City star and England international Jude Bellingham, who came through Birmingham’s youth ranks and this summer joined La Liga giants Real Madrid for £115million from Germany’s Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.
      Rob named his son Andrew, 32, after the club’s St Andrew’s stadium – and even once discharged himself from hospital to attend an away game at Swansea City.
      He now hopes the club can return to the Premier League having been away since relegation in 2011.
      American NFL legend Tom Brady sprang a surprise last week by revealing he has become one of the club’s joint owners.
      Brady, recently rumoured to be dating Kim Kardashian, has “entered into a partnership” with Birmingham’s new owners Knighthead Capital Management LLC.
      Rob said: “There have been some good times really but it has been a bad few years – although the new owners sound like they really mean business and are very ambitious.
      “Getting the likes of Tom Brady on board can only be a good thing so I think the future is bright and I certainly have no intentions of stopping.

      “I’d resigned myself to the fact I would probably never see Blues in the Premier League again but hopefully we can get back there under these new owners.
      “It’s the hope and anticipation that kills you, though – but I guess that’s what being a football fan is all about.”

      It costs £25 for only two photos, and £15 for one.
      City stadium tours cost between £25 and £28 per adult.
      Snaps with the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies which they won last year are free.
      There is a £10 option for a photo taken against a green-screen so City fans can add CGI displays of them next to their idols.

      Consumer champion Martyn James said: “These charges for simply having your photo taken next to a trophy are outrageous.
      “Supporting your team is becoming the equivalent of throwing a bunch of tenners in the air.”
      Marc Gander of the Consumer Action Group added: “Obviously City realise that their fans are part of the team. United seem to have forgotten that.”
