Brentford Advances in Carabao Cup with 3-1 Win

Fabio Carvalho shone in his second start for Brentford, scoring a stunning overhead kick and providing two assists in a 3-1 victory over Leyton Orient in the Carabao Cup. Despite an early setback when Leyton Orient took the lead, Carvalho equalized shortly after with his impressive strike, followed by assisting Mikkel Damsgaard and Christian Norgaard for additional goals. Coach Thomas Frank's decision to rotate players after a loss to Manchester City paid off, with Carvalho's performance suggesting he may earn a starting position against Tottenham. The 21-year-old joined Brentford from Liverpool for £27.5 million, seeking more first-team opportunities. With Yoane Wissa sidelined due to injury, Carvalho’s contributions could lead to increased playing time in the Premier League. Frank expressed satisfaction with Carvalho's progress, highlighting his growing influence in the team.
