Accrington Stanley 2-2 Tranmere Rovers (11-12 on pens)

Tranmere Rovers keeper Mateusz Hewelt saved the 26th penalty in the Wham Stadium shootout

Tranmere Rovers came from 2-0 behind to draw 2-2 before winning 12-11 on penalties to put League One side Accrington Stanley out of the Carabao Cup.

Rovers keeper Mateusz Hewelt saved the 26th penalty in a mammoth shootout at the Wham Stadium.

Stanley led 2-0 before Tranmere grabbed an equaliser through Paul Lewis with almost the last kick of the game.

It went to penalties and Hewelt saved Joe Pritchard's effort while his counterpart Lukas Jensen kept out Rhys Hughes before it went to sudden death.

Hewelt then saved Shaun Whalley's spot-kick as the players stood up to take them for the second time and League Two side Rovers celebrated being in the draw for the second round.

Stanley went ahead with the first of two quickfire goals in the 37th minute when Tranmere lost the ball in midfield, allowing Korede Adedoyin to nip in, trick his way into the area and fire into the far corner.

Two minutes later on-loan Everton defender Ryan Astley received the ball on the edge of the area with his back to goal and, on the spin, his effort hit the inside of a post and crept into the net.

Rovers got one back on 62 minutes when, in a quick breakaway, Josh Hawkes got the ball midway in the Stanley half, raced into the area before beating the Stanley defence and fired home.

Then, in the third minute of second-half stoppage time and with virtually the last kick of the game, Lewis slid in at the far post to take the game to penalties.
