EFL Cup REVIEW 10 Aug 2026: A red card on 87, and Plymouth score twice in the 90th

Exeter kept Plymouth out until the 90th minute and then lost the tie in a blink. Ethan Sutherland, booked on 78, was sent off on 87; by the 90th Plymouth had scored twice, through A. Hartridge and A. Pepple, and a game that had been goalless all evening finished 2-0.

The dismissal is the whole match. Every card of the night went to Exeter - C. Cummins booked on 19, Sutherland booked on 78 and then sent off on 87 - and Plymouth were not cautioned once. Down to ten men, Exeter conceded twice in the 90th minute.

Both goals arrived in the 90th, which is why the scoreline reads like a comfortable Devon derby and the match was not one. It was 0-0 when Sutherland walked.
