SHOOT’s EFL Cup Awards (Fourth Round): Player, Team and Goal of the Round

Team of the Round: Leeds United

Garry Monk kept his side Marching on Together and into the quarter-finals for the first time since 2012/13 as the Whites kept their impressive recent run up by beating promotion hopefuls and Championship high-flyers Norwich City at Elland Road.

Leeds fell behind twice to goals from summer arrivals Alex Pritchard and Nelson Oliveira, but twice clawed it back, before winning on penalties. Marcus Antonsson notched his third goal for his new new club since arriving from Swedish outfit Kalmar FF in the summer from close-range after good work from Souleymane Doukara on the verge of half-time, to level it up after Pritchard had opened the scoring for the Canaries after 14 minutes.

A goalless second-half meant it finished 1-1 at full-time, causing the game to go to extra-time, which Leeds would have to play with 10-men as Lewie Coyle had gone off injured late on in normal time, and boss Monk had already used all three substitutions.

So when Leeds fell behind on 99 minutes to Oliveira’s third goal in as many appearances against Leeds, you’d have been forgiven for thinking that it was game over.

But in true Yorkshire style, Monk’s men showed admirable togetherness, fight and spirit to once again get back on terms, a superb ball from Matt Grimes set Hadi Sacko on his way, he squared to Chris Wood who had a tap in to send the game to a penalty shootout.

This was Leeds’ second shootout of the competition after they also needed them to beat Fleetwood Town in the first round.

Goalkeeper Marco Silvestri proved the saviour as the Italian stopped penalties from Pritchard, Steven Naismith and Robbie Brady, so despite misses from Matt Grimes and Kalvin Phillips, the opportunity to win it with the 10th spot-kick fell to 18-year-old starlet Ronaldo Vieira.

But the youngster soon swept off any pressure and kept his cool in front of 22,222 inside Elland Road, sending John Ruddy the wrong way, and Leeds into the quarter-finals.
