Everton: Despite sacking manager Sean Dyche earlier in the day, Everton triumphed 2-0 over Peterborough United at Goodison Park. Beto opened the scoring just before halftime, and Iliman Ndiaye sealed their progression with a penalty in the 98th minute.
Sheffield United: Unfortunately, Sheffield United were eliminated after a 1-0 defeat at home to Cardiff City. Cian Ashford netted the only goal of the match in the 19th minute.
Fulham: Fulham comfortably defeated Watford 4-1 at Craven Cottage. After a goal from Rodrigo Muniz and an equalizer by Rocco Vatta, Raul Jimenez’s penalty and further goals from Joachim Andersen and Timothy Castagne completed the victory.
