Premier League clubs Burnley and Middlesbrough were eliminated by lower-division sides in the second round of the League Cup Wednesday, while Leicester and Chelsea were paired in the standout match of the third round.
Fourth-tier Accrington pulled off the biggest shock of the night, beating Burnley 1-0 thanks to a goal late in extra time by Matty Pearson.
Second-tier Fulham came from a goal down to beat Middlesbrough 2-1, with Lasse Vigen Christensen getting the west London team's winner in extra time.
Sunderland needed a late goal from on-loan Manchester United midfielder Adnan Januzaj to beat third-tier Shrewsbury 1-0, while Bournemouth settled for a 2-1 win at fourth-tier Morecambe.
Januzaj fired a rising shot into top corner in the 83rd minute to avoid any potential upset for a Sunderland side that has lost both its opening Premier League games under new manager David Moyes.

Chelsea faces an intriguing clash at Premier League champions Leicester, while Arsenal visits second tier Nottingham Forest.
Liverpool takes on second tier Derby at the iPro Stadium and Tottenham hosts third tier Gillingham, which enjoyed a 2-1 win at Premier League Watford in the second round.
