Toffees come unstuck in shootout loss to Saints
Everton's miserable start to the new season continued as it was knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Southampton, which experienced spot-kick joy after its penalty pain against Manchester United.
Sean Dyche's Toffees have lost their past two Premier League matches despite leading 2-0 in each, and they let slip another lead in this third-round tie.
Abdoulaye Doucoure's opener was cancelled out by Saints' Taylor Harwood-Bellis, with a 1-1 draw taking the third-round tie to penalties at Goodison Park.
Southampton, like Everton, is pointless in the league after Cameron Archer's spot-kick miss in its latest defeat at home to United last weekend proved costly.
But this time Saints succeeded from 12 yards, advancing after a 6-5 shootout win, with Ashley Young the only man to fail from the spot when Alex McCarthy saved the final kick.
