Harry Kane missed his first penalty for Bayern Munich in a competitive match but scored a stoppage-time winner as the Bavarians struggled to beat third-tier Wehen Wiesbaden 3-2 in the German Cup on Wednesday after squandering a two-goal lead, Reuters reported.

Kane, who had not missed any of his previous 31 penalties in competitive matches for clubs and country since the 2022 World Cup, had also never missed from the spot in 22 attempts since joining Bayern Munich two years ago.

But the England captain, who had scored a penalty in the 16th minute to put them in front, was at the far post deep in stoppage time to nod in for his sixth goal in three matches this season and send Bayern through.

Kane, the first player to be crowned top scorer in both his first two seasons in the Bundesliga, had demanded a penalty minutes earlier for a Wiesbaden hand ball but, without the use of VAR in the Cup competition, there was no review, according to Reuters.

League Cup holders Newcastle United will begin the defence of their title with a home tie against third-tier Bradford City while Liverpool, last season's runners-up, host Southampton, Reuters reported.

Newcastle, whose win over Liverpool ended a 70-year domestic trophy drought, were given a bye into the third round along with the other Premier League clubs involved in either the Champions League or Europa League.

Manchester City will travel to League One Huddersfield Town while Chelsea go to Lincoln City and Arsenal are at Port Vale, according to Reuters.

Ruben Amorim apologised to Manchester United supporters after his reign reached a new low with a humiliating elimination from the League Cup by fourth-tier Grimsby Town on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

United appeared to have got out of jail at Blundell Park when Harry Maguire's 89th-minute header made it 2-2 after they had trailed 2-0 with a woeful first-half display.

But a marathon penalty shootout ended 12-11 in Grimsby's favour after new signing Bryan Mbeumo, who had begun United's fightback, saw his spot kick bounce back off the crossbar, according to Reuters.

Former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev has been handed a substantial fine for his behaviour in a extraordinary first-round exit, BBC reported.

Medvedev, 29, was knocked out of the Grand Slam tournament after a meltdown sparked by a photographer walking on to the court during his defeat by France's Benjamin Bonzi.

The former world number one has been fined almost £31,500 ($42,500) by the United States Tennis Association.

He was docked $30,000 for unsportsmanlike behaviour and another $12,500 for obliterating a racket against a chair, according to BBC.

It means the Russian will have to forfeit about 40% of the first-round prize money he received.
