Brentford reached the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup after beating Sheffield Wednesday 5-4 on penalties. Mark Flekken produced the vital save from Liam Palmer to deny the Championship team. Wednesday had fought hard. Brentford had led early through Kevin Schade and looked set to record a comfortable win during the first half.
Wednesday, 13th in the Championship, had struggled after naming a heavily rotated team. But the underdogs were given hope because of Brentford’s failure to kill them off. The Premier League side lost their way after half-time and were caught out by a brilliant equaliser from Djeidi Gassama. The goal came out of the blue and Brentford were unable to regain their composure, although they had the best chance to win the game in normal time, only for Schade to spurn an inviting opportunity.
