The Guardian reported that Aston Villa beat Coventry in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday night, with Tammy Abraham scoring twice in a 3-1 win and Ross Barkley also heading in. The result sends Unai Emery’s side into the fourth round.

Coventry briefly equalised through Victor Torp’s free-kick, but Villa were said to have controlled much of the contest and punished two set-piece mistakes. The report also said Abraham’s goals were his first of the season.

Villa will now go to Bournemouth at the end of October in the next round, while Coventry’s poor run continued after another defeat in all competitions.
