EFL RESULT: Sunderland manager David Moyes is sent to the stands as Southampton reach the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.

Boufal joined Southampton for £16m in the summer from Lille Struggling Sunderland manager David Moyes was sent to the stands as his side were knocked out of the EFL Cup in the fourth round by Southampton. Southampton's record £16m signing Sofiane Boufal scored with a stunning 25-yard strike into the top corner to secure a place in the quarter-finals for the hosts. Moyes was dismissed late on after referee Chris Kavanagh waved away Sunderland's appeals for a foul on Victor Anichebe in the penalty area. The Scot's two competitive wins in charge of the Premier League's bottom club came in the previous rounds of the League Cup. Southampton boss Claude Puel made nine changes to the side that drew with Manchester City on Sunday, including naming six academy graduates. Boufal's winner, on his first start since his summer move from Lille, was a rare effort on goal in a disappointing match. Sunderland's best chance fell to substitute Jermain Defoe, whose shot was saved by Alex McCarthy. Defeat was the Black Cats' eighth in all competitions this season.
