Fleetwood's Carabao Cup Win: Is It the Biggest Upset Ever?

Fleetwood Town's latest Carabao Cup result has reignited a familiar debate: is it the biggest upset in the competition's history? The League Two club beat Sheffield United 1-0 in the third round, a win that sent them into the fourth round for the first time.

Giant-killing is part of the Carabao Cup's appeal. Lower-league sides have repeatedly knocked out top-flight opponents, and the early rounds regularly produce results that no one predicted at the draw. That makes ranking any single win a matter of judgment, weighing the size of the gap in league status, the quality of the opposition and how the match unfolded.
