Aaron Henry's spectacular equaliser - his first-ever Charlton goal - set up the penalty shootout
League One side Charlton Athletic knocked Queens Park Rangers out of the first round of the Carabao Cup after a 5-4 win on penalties following a 1-1 draw.
The Championship side improved after the break when Wales forward Tyler Roberts took less than 20 minutes of his debut to blast the R's ahead as his superb right-footed effort nestled into the top corner.
But an even better goal levelled it as youngster Aaron Henry smashed a half-cleared corner into the top corner from the edge of the box in the 90th minute.
QPR's Stefan Johansen saw his opening penalty kick in the shootout saved by Joe Wollacott - the only miss from 12 yards as Eoghan O'Connell converted the winning spot-kick for the home team.
Charlton - who made eight team changes - edged a goalless opening period as teenage debutant Miles Leaburn had two early chances, while Diallang Jaiyesimi and Jake Forster-Caskey also went close.
Having made five changes from the side that beat Middlesbrough on Saturday, Rangers improved after the break and Rob Dickie had a header saved from an Andre Dozzell cross before the two late goals.
