Davies saved Ekwah's penalty at Sunderland

Crewe drew 1–1 at Sunderland on 8 August 2023 and won the penalties 5–3. Harvey Davies saved Pierre Ekwah's spot-kick, providing the decisive intervention in the shoot-out after the first-round match had finished level at the end of 90 minutes.

Davies was 19 and on a season-long loan from Liverpool. This was only his second appearance for Crewe, making the save an early contribution to his time with the Alex. Liverpool's loan report records both the penalty outcome and that appearance context.

The match and shoot-out scores answer different questions. The teams scored once each during the game, while Crewe's five successful penalties secured progress. The goalkeeper's save belongs to the shoot-out, rather than a penalty conceded during normal play. That distinction is useful when revisiting the highlights or comparing the result with the next round.

Port Vale brought the opposite shoot-out outcome

Crewe's second-round trip to Port Vale finished 0–0. This time the shoot-out went against the Alex, with Vale winning 2–0 on penalties. Crewe therefore left the 2023/24 competition without losing either match before penalties, but with a different outcome in each shoot-out.

An earlier campaign followed a more straightforward pattern. In 2021/22, Crewe won 1–0 away to Hartlepool before losing 3–0 away to Leeds. Those two matches were separate from the Sunderland and Port Vale ties, and neither is recorded as a penalty decision.

The club's 2012/13 Football League Trophy victory is another distinct competition entry. It should not be counted as a League Cup title. For supporters exploring the Alex's cup record, the competition name matters as much as the season: League Cup fixtures, Trophy results and league play-offs follow different routes and award different honours.
