Middlesbrough also into the second round with an impressive 3-0 win at Championship rivals Leeds in the Carabao Cup.

Anfernee Dijksteel broke the deadlock early in the second half with a left-footed finish into the bottom corner after cutting in from the right wing, with Josh Coburn then setting Delano Burgzorg clear on the hour mark to make it 2-0.
