A record shootout. Where it didn't matter who wonpublished at 08:36 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016
The Checkatrade Trophy. It's fair to say it's not gone down too well so far. Last night saw the longest penalty shootout in the history of English football - in a game where it didn't matter who won.
Oxford had already progressed to the last 32 and Chelsea's academy team - with Kurt Zouma playing for 90 minutes - were already out following their 1-1 draw. But, as per the competition rules, the clubs embarked on an epic shootout at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea eventually won 13-12, with a total of 34 kicks being taken. Blues keeper Bradley Collins missed his first penalty and scored his second, before saving Wes Thomas' effort to pick up the bonus point.
