Sheffield Wednesday defender Gui Siqueira says unity among the squad helped them secure a place in the second round of the Carabao Cup.

The Owls beat Bolton on penalties after Siqueira, 20, had scored on his debut in an action-packed game which ended 3-3 after 90 minutes.

"From the fans, to the (Under) 21s, to the seniors, everyone supported me on the pitch, they really stepped up and helped us in the changing room," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I knew the gaffer wanted the team to press and get the team up. [For the goal] I decided to send one in and it flew top corner - I was really happy.

"You always dream about those moments. The only other thing I wish is that it was in front of the other end so I could celebrate with the fans."

Wednesday will host Stoke City on Saturday (15:00 BST) in their first home game of the season, with more protests against the club owner Dejphon Chansiri planned.
