[AMERICANS ABROAD] Two U.S wingers whose careers have taken different turns since changing clubs were in League Cup action on Tuesday.

Alejandro Bedoya scored his second goal for Nantes in its 2-0 win over Lorient. The win moved the Canaries into the round of 16 for the first time since 2005.

Brek Shea made his first appearance in more than two months for Stoke City, coming on as a sub late in its Capital One Cup shootout win at Birmingham City.

The Potters gave up two late goal to the struggling League Championship team to send the game to overtime at 3-3 but they eventually won on penalty kicks after the game ended 4-4.

Shea's only other appearance was a 45-minute stint in a Capital One Cup match in August.
