Crystal Palace eliminates United from Cup

MANCHESTER, England (AP) ― Manchester United was knocked out of the League Cup quarterfinals by Crystal Palace, with Glenn Murray scoring in the eighth minute of overtime to give the second-tier club a 2-1 victory Wednesday night and its first win at Old Trafford since 1989.

Former Premier League midfielder Darren Ambrose put Palace ahead in the 65th minute when he scored on a 35-yard free kick. United, fielding a mostly second-string lineup, tied the score four minutes later on Federico Macheda’s penalty kick.

Glenn Murray then headed Ambrose’s free kick past goalkeeper Ben Amos to earn Palace a semifinal matchup against fellow League Championship club Cardiff.

Liverpool and Manchester City will meet in the other semifinal.

Crystal Palace had 10 losses and three draws against United since a 3-0 home league win in May 1991. Palace had been winless at Old Trafford since December 1989, losing eight and drawing two.

Europa League

PAOK Thessaloniki scored twice in the first 13 minutes against Tottenham before defending with 10 men for almost two-thirds of the match to win 2-1 and clinch a place in the next round of the Europa League.

Dimitris Salpingidis and Stefanos Athanasiadis scored before Konstantinos Stafylidis was ejected for handball. Luka Modric converted the resulting penalty kick, but the defeat left Spurs facing elimination.

Five other clubs also progressed to the knockout rounds ahead of their final group games.

Atletico Madrid, the 2010 champion, advanced with a 1-0 win at Glasgow Celtic. Metalist Kharkiv clinched the point it needed with a 0-0 tie against Austria Vienna, Braga beat Birmingham 1-0 and Standard Liege and Hannover also qualified for the second round.
