Jack Butland scores in shootout as Stoke knock Leeds out of EFL Cup

Former England goalkeeper plays his part at Elland Road.

Stoke are through to the third round of the Carabao Cup after a penalty shoot-out win over Leeds at Elland Road.

Jack Butland was among Stoke's scorers from the spot in their 5-4 shoot-out success, after the two sides had played out an enthralling 2-2 draw in 90 minutes.

Stoke had led 2-0 at half-time but their Championship rivals forced penalties with a strong second-half showing.

The win, after Jack Harrison hit the post with Leeds' final spot-kick, relieves some of the pressure on Potters' manager Nathan Jones.

Despite Leeds' dominance, City stunned the hosts with a two-goal salvo just before the break.

First, Stoke captain Danny Batth rose highest to nod in Sam Clucas' corner, then Tyrese Campbell's centre picked out Sam Vokes – whose scrambled finish looped in the air and trickled into the net.

Mateusz Bogusz brought a fine save out of Butland at the midway point in the second half before Butland dropped a clanger.

His attempted clearance hit Cameron Carter-Vickers and fell into the path of Eddie Nketiah, who beat Butland and tapped into the empty net.

The goalkeeper had to keep out a Helder Costa volley but he could not save the winger's header, which forced spot-kicks.

In the shoot-out Butland stepped up to score City's final kick, before Jack Harrison struck the post to send Stoke through.
