Horvath the hero as crisis-hit Sheffield Wednesday stun Leeds in Carabao Cup shootout

— Match Report

Sheffield Wednesday produced one of the most unlikely results of the Carabao Cup's second round as a callow Championship side beat Premier League Leeds 3-0 on penalties following a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough, with the visitors missing every one of their spot-kicks.

Goalkeeper Ethan Horvath, signed on emergency loan from Cardiff after an injury to Pierce Charles, was the central figure on his home debut, repelling Leeds in normal time before saving from Joel Piroe and Sean Longstaff in the shootout as Dominic Calvert-Lewin lashed his penalty high over the bar.

A Yorkshire derby played out against a boycott

Only 7,801 supporters were inside Hillsborough after the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters' Trust urged fans to boycott the fixture in protest against owner Dejphon Chansiri, suggesting they donate their money to Sheffield Children's Hospital instead. The Trust's chair, Ian Bennett, said the aim was to 'starve the owner of any ready cash' and accelerate a sale.
