Brentford beat Sheffield Wednesday 5-4 on penalties to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

Bees goalkeeper Mark Flekken saved Liam Palmer's penalty - the only missed spot-kick in the shoot-out - to prevent an upset against the Championship side after the game finished 1-1.

The Premier League side took the lead through Kevin Schade's 11th-minute goal and were completely dominant in the first half at the Gtech Community Stadium.

But Wednesday, who made nine changes from the Championship win at Portsmouth, upped their performance in the second half and levelled in the 57th minute after a fine Djeidi Gassama long-range strike - their first shot on target.

The equaliser livened up proceedings as both sides forced saves from the goalkeepers but a winner could not be found in normal time.

With the first nine penalties scored, Palmer stepped up to take the spot-kick which would send it to sudden death but Flekken saved to put the hosts through.
