Three of Leicester City’s four Football League loanees have progressed to the second round of the Carabao Cup.

The opening round of the competition took place on Tuesday night with a City loan trio bouncing back from a disappointing weekend in which they were all defeated in league action.

Ryan Loft was involved in one of the upsets of the evening as he helped League Two outfit Carlisle win 3-0 at Championship side Barnsley.

Making his first start for the Cumbrians, target man Loft earned praise from Carlisle supporters for his 81-minute outing in which he nearly scored in acrobatic fashion, hitting the bar with an overhead kick from the edge of the box.

Carlisle will travel to Rochdale in the second round.

Goalkeeper Daniel Iversen has established himself as Rotherham’s first-choice goalkeeper and so was an unused substitute for their first-round tie, the Dane's deputy Lewis Price donning the gloves in a 4-0 win over Shrewsbury.

Rotherham have been drawn to host the winners of the postponed tie between Sheffield Wednesday and Bury in the next round.

Winger Layton Ndukwu, who made his senior debut as a substitute for Southend at the weekend, watched from the bench as the Shrimpers won 2-1 at Stevenage on Tuesday. They welcome MK Dons in the second round.

Josh Knight was the sole City loanee to suffer defeat as Peterborough lost 1-0 to Oxford for the second time in four days.

Knight was a second-half substitute in the league loss but played 90 minutes in midfield in the cup tie as Cameron Brannagan again netted the winner for Oxford, this time nestling an 88th-minute free-kick in the bottom corner.

The second round is scheduled for the week beginning August 26, with City drawn away at Newcastle in the only all-Premier League tie.
