The nine Premier League sides in Europe - Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Brighton, Sunderland and Crystal Palace - all come in for the third round.

Savio grabbed a goal and assist on a dream debut as Tottenham thrashed Charlton to progress into the third round of the Carabao Cup.

The Brazilian, signed from Man City for £85m on Tuesday, was introduced as a second-half substitute and took just 11 minutes to open his account, adding to the hype surrounding his arrival in north London.

Roberto De Zerbi named a strong side to face the Championship opposition, with many senior names included in the starting XI after Spurs' dreadfully disappointing defeat to Brentford in their Premier League opener.

It was youngster Mikey Moore who finally broke down a stubborn Charlton defence though, smashing the ball through the hands of Tiernan Brooks to score his first Tottenham goal. That lead was quickly doubled just five minutes later, with Dominic Solanke smartly finishing after the visitors failed to clear their lines.

Several other high profile names were introduced after an hour, including Kevin Danso who headed home from a Mateus Fernandes free-kick with his first touch. However, Spurs fans will only thinking about the magic of Savio after he came on in the 71st minute.

The forward cut inside from the right and fired smartly into the bottom corner to add Spurs' fourth, before his scrappy effort deflected off veteran Ben Davies for a fifth just three minutes later.

There was still time for Charlton to find a consolation courtesy of the head of Lloyd Jones, but it meant little as Spurs cruised into third round, where they will meet Liverpool at Anfield.
