Brentford through on penalties against Sheffield Wednesday

Mark Flekken was Brentford’s hero as the Premier League side needed penalties to see off stubborn Sheffield Wednesday and reach the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

The Bees looked to be cruising into the last eight after taking the lead through Kevin Schade and bossing a one-sided first half.

But Championship Wednesday levelled shortly before the hour with their first effort on target through Djeidi Gassama’s spectacular strike.
