Who is sunderlands penalty taker
Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player. Sunderland reached the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup for the first time since with a penalty shootout win over QPR after their fourth-round tie ended goalless. QPR had beaten Leyton Orient and Everton on penalties to reach round four but fell woefully short at the third attempt, converting just one of their four penalties, with Yoann Barbet shanking the decisive spot-kick over the bar.
While QPR toiled at the spot, Sunderland held their nerve as Aiden McGeady, Ross Stewart, and Alex Pritchard all converted to send the League One Black Cats - the lowest-ranked team left in the competition - into the last eight for the first time since they made it all the way to the final in QPR's defeat owed as much to their shambolic penalties as it did to a contentious decision to rule out Charlie Austin's 80th-minute header for offside, a goal which would likely have sent Championship Rangers through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup for the first time since The decision was compounded by Austin missing the first penalty in the shootout as QPR were dumped out of this competition by League One opposition for the fourth successive season, to leave Sunderland eagerly await their quarter-final fate in Saturday's draw.
Both promotion-chasing clubs have other priorities this season and the two managers made a combined 13 changes from their weekend line-ups. But both sets of fans clearly felt otherwise with Loftus Road packed to the rafters - 15, a hugely impressive turn-out on a cold Tuesday night.
Lee Johnson's Sunderland have made a flying start to the season, having won 12 of their opening 16 games in all competitions and, backed by a large, noisy away contingent of almost 3,, they created the first chances.
Lynden Gooch released Leon Dajaku, whose shot was blocked by Rangers keeper Seny Dieng at his near post, before teenage midfielder Dan Neil slalomed along the edge of the Rangers area and forced Dieng into another save with a low drive.
But Rangers began to dominate and almost went ahead through Barbet's piledriver from the edge of the area which was clawed out by Lee Burge. However, the year-old had already been told by Johnson he would be needed for the trip to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium. He denied Barbet and Lyndon Dykes with crucial saves to keep the Black Cats level during 90 minutes, the first time QPR had failed to score in a league or cup game this season.
