LONDON — The coaching apprentice got the better of his former master as Frank Lampard’s Derby knocked Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United out of the League Cup. The 8-7 shootout loss to a second-tier team is another setback for Mourinho, with United already eight points behind leader Liverpool after six games in the Premier League. The only other Premier League side beaten by lower-league opposition on Wednesday was Burnley which lost 2-1 to third-tier side Burton. The striker made his debut for the Premier League club after coming on in the 81st minute of a 3-1 victory over Millwall. ADVANCINGCrystal Palace won 3-0 at West Bromwich Albion, which was relegated from the Premier League in May.
