Shrewsbury keeper Toby Savin's penalty save from Curtis Edwards in the shoot-out proved decisive

Mal Benning scored the penalty shoot-out winner to send Shrewsbury Town through to the Carabao Cup second round after coming from two goals down in a frantic 3-3 draw with Notts County.

After David McGoldrick missed the first spot-kick for Notts and Curtis Edwards had his saved, Jordan Shipley, George Lloyd, Tom Bloxham and Benning all converted successfully.

Notts had earlier made a blistering start, breaking the deadlock after four minutes when McGoldrick floated a cross to the back post and Jodi Jones laid it back into the box for Conor Grant to head in.

Notts doubled their lead midway through the first half when Jack Hinchy played a lovely through ball to McGoldrick, who squared for Sam Austin to tap home.
