EFL: Wycombe falls to Villa 2-1 in Carabao Cup third round

Wycombe Wanderers pushes Aston Villa to the limit, ultimately losing 2-1 in Carabao Cup third round.

Wycombe Wanderers indeed suffered a narrow 1-2 loss to Aston Villa in their Carabao Cup third-round match at Adams Park. The game was closely contested, with Villa's Emiliano Buendía scoring the opening goal in the 55th minute, followed by Jhon Durán's penalty in the 85th minute. Wycombe's Richard Kone managed to pull one back in the final seconds of the game, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome.
