A wise and stoic performance saw them limit Brentford’s chances to a minimum in a nip-and-tuck cup battle, with Djeidi Gassama’s long-range stunner proving the moment of class they needed to cancel out Kevin Schade’s opener. A disciplined defensive showing proved Danny Röhl right to freshen things up with their whirlwind Championship fixture schedule laying in wait back home.
Penalties can be a cruel mistress and so it proved, with Mr Sheffield Wednesday Liam Palmer missing their fifth to put heads in hands. But those heads leave London held high after an outstanding effort.
Here are our ratings from an impressive showing.
9. Anthony Musaba - 6
Pinned his ears back a couple of times early doors. Fair to say it wasn't quite his night on the few occasions he got the a touch in a decent area. Off for a rest with 20 or so left. | UGC
10. Djeidi Gassama - 7
What a moment! Struck a thunder chuffer from distance to send the away end into chaos. Fair to say he was 'having one' before that - overhit passes and a bum touch or two. But the quality he possesses if undeniable and it counted. Off with 20 or so left. | UGC
11. Iké Ugbo - 7
Showed some nice hold-up play to bring others in on the rare occasions the ball got up to him. Worked hard. Off at 70-odd with half a view on the weekend. | UGC
12. Liam Palmer
On after the equaliser, a wise grown up replacing a spritely young whippersnapper in Sean Fusire. | UGC
