The Millwall run in the League Cup is over for another year after the second round defeat against Nottingham Forest at the Den on Tuesday.
A late goal from Forest, when extra time was beckoning, ended Millwall’s League Cup hopes when the Lions were beaten two-one.
Forest were ahead at half time when Paterson followed up a saved effort to open the scoring 10-minutes before the break.
A brilliant Williams lob on Forest ‘keeper Henderson from 50-yards with 13-minutes to play looked to have done enough to give Millwall extra time but Veldwijk fired home with three-minutes left to win it for the visitors.
Here’s a round up of the League Cup action from the other matches played, with some still to take place.

Some very high scoring matches, with an upset or two as well with the biggest of Tuesday night being the West Brom exit to Northampton.
After an extra time two-two draw the match needed penalties with Northampton going through four-three with another penalty shootout needed for Derby to see off Carlisle after a one-one draw at the iPro Stadium. The Rams eventually winning 14-13!
Premier League side Watford also bowed out after a two-one Vicarage Road defeat to League 1 side Gillingham but most other Premier League and Championship sides advanced and quite comfortably from potential banana skins really.
