LONDON -- In just his third match in charge of Manchester United, Louis van Gaal oversaw one of the most humiliating losses in the clubs illustrious history on Tuesday. The record 20-time English champions timidly capitulated to MK Dons, losing 4-0 to the third-tier club in the second round of the League Cup. Hired to halt the decline under David Moyes in the post-Alex Ferguson era, Van Gaal had already endured a loss and a draw in his first two Premier League matches before one of three possible routes to silverware ended in Milton Keynes. A second-string United was playing in the League Cup second round for the first time since 1995 because Moyes failed to qualify for Europe during his only season in charge. He was replaced by the coach who led the Netherlands to third place at the World Cup. Although Van Gaal made 10 changes from the team that drew at Sunderland, several international players including Danny Welbeck, Javier Hernandez and Shinji Kagawa were deployed. Van Gaal kept his cool in public after the game and did not tear into his teams performance, despite poor defending that gifted goals to the Dons and the fact that United needed around 70 minutes to manage a shot on target. "We didnt have the luck to score but at least we have created a lot of chances," Van Gaal said. "You dont have to forget we have nine injuries and we had a very young team, I have seen them trying to their utmost best. You cant expect more of the players." Van Gaal urged fans to trust him to turn around the fortunes of a team that won the Premier League by 11 points in 2013 before Ferguson retired after more than 26 years in charge. "(Supporters) have to believe in our philosophy," Van Gaal said. "We are building up a team and you cant make in one month not in one year of course. Its very disappointing but I hope they shall maintain their confidence in the club and in our philosophy because that philosophy takes time." A United side featuring David Beckham lost 3-0 to third tier side York at this stage in 1995, going out of the then two-legged second round 4-3 on aggregate. Nineteen years on, the humbling result took the gloss off Uniteds pre-match announcement that it had broken the British transfer record by signing Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid for 59.7 million pounds ($99 million). With a summer spending spree that has now hit $215 million, Van Gaal will be expected to quickly restore United to the elite of English football and ensure that Tuesdays result becomes a long-forgotten blip. "You have to analyze the problem and then you have to take your matches," Van Gaal said. "We know exactly what we are doing." Benik Afobe, a striker on loan from Arsenal, and Will Grigg were gifted the openings to each score twice on a memorable night for the Dons, which was originally Wimbledon FC. The 1988 FA Cup winners as Wimbledon controversially uprooted 90 kilometres (56 miles) from south London to Milton Keynes, a large commuter town north of the capital, and was renamed a decade ago. "Im a little bit shocked to be walking off and seeing the score line," Dons manager Karl Robinson said. "Its ridiculous. Its something that dreams are made of for these players. We work hard here and youve seen a youthful energy in the team ... this is a game for Milton Keynes as a city." United wasnt the only Premier League to be beaten by lower-league opposition, with misery also for West Ham and topflight newcomers Burnley and Leicester. Sheffield Wednesday of the second tier won 1-0 at Burnley, while Leicester went down 1-0 at home to fourth-tier side Shrewsbury. New signing Enner Valencia missed a penalty for West Ham as the London club lost a shootout 5-4 to Sheffield United of the third tier. West Bromwich Albion narrowly avoided a similarly embarrassing shootout exit by beating Oxford 7-6 after a 1-1 draw in normal time. Jack Cork and Graziano Pelle scored their first goals for Southampton in a 2-0 victory at Millwall, while Newcastle beat Gillingham 1-0.

SIMONS ISLAND, Ga.(SportsNetwork.com) - The NHL-leading Anaheim Ducks will try to stay hot in December on Saturday night as they visit the Arizona Coyotes. The Ducks have won nine of their 11 games this month and top the league with 51 points. They came off of a 3-2-0 road trip with Mondays home victory against San Jose, beating the Sharks 3-2 in overtime. Anaheim has won all four of its games at home this month and begins an eight- game residency on Sunday with a visit from the Vancouver Canucks. The Ducks next road game after tonight isnt scheduled until Jan. 17. Ryan Kesler had the game-winning goal in the win over the Sharks sniping a shot past Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi and into the net at the 58-second mark of overtime. He stopped me at the far post a few times. Third time is a charm, Kesler deadpanned. Rickard Rakell netted his first NHL regular-season goal and Cam Fowler also lit the lamp for the Ducks, while Ryan Getzlaf had two assists and Frederik Andersen came up with 30 saves. Anaheim lost forward Tim Jackman to a facial injury in the second period as he was hit in the face by the glove and butt end of the stick by San Joses John Scott. Scott was suspended four games for the incident. JJackmans status for this game is unknown as the Ducks visit a Coyotes team that is looking to beat a team other than the Edmonton Oilers.dddddddddddd The Coyotes are 3-8-2 in their last 13 games and all three wins have come versus the Oilers. That includes a 5-1 triumph in Edmonton on Tuesday. Former Oilers Sam Gagner and Devan Dubnyk shined in the win, with Gagner posting two goals and four points and Dubnyk making 26 saves. I found a few things that I can really concentrate on every game, said Dubnyk. Its about pushing, stopping and being set and finding the puck. You have to work to do those things. Arizona also received goals from Martin Erat, Keith Yandle and Brandon Gormley. Martin Hanzal supplied three assists in the win. The Coyotes seek a second straight win at home. They had snapped a franchise- worst nine-game skid as the hosting team with a 2-1 overtime victory versus the Oilers on Dec. 16. Arizona forward Lauri Korpikoski could return to the lineup tonight after missing the previous four games with a lower-body injury. The Coyotes split two meetings with the Ducks earlier this season in Anaheim. The Ducks have won six of the previous seven meetings overall. ' ' '
