Wigan 3-3 Luton (Luton win on pens)
Pheww! Luton scrape through after taking some chances on team selection to play squad players.
We started with 2 squad players, and triggered bringing on 2 more when going 2 up after 10 minutes, which gave them some lovely minutes, with the extra time as well, but led to a very nail biting game to see if they would survive and go through.
Nunez and Awoniyi were the star players who made the difference in the end, but it was a close call, with the stats in Wigan's favour.
The early two goal lead was chipped away to 2-2, and then Wigan were awarded a penalty in the second half to make it 3-3, fortunately Awoniyi nipped in to equalise to take the game to extra time.
The penalty shoot out also went back and forth, with some missed chances before Davies hit the decisive goal to win 5-4
Soares performed heroics in goal in the shoot out, but his time is limited now, with the imminent arrival of a new keeper from the auction, though he has earned himself a move to a top club as back up.
