Leeds beat Birmingham on penalties to reach FA Cup fifth round
Leeds United progressed after a 1-1 draw and 4-2 penalty shootout win, with goalkeeper Lucas Perri saving a crucial penalty to secure their FA Cup fifth round spot.
- On Feb 15, Leeds United beat Championship side Birmingham City 4-2 on penalties at St Andrew's, Birmingham after a 1-1 draw following extra time to reach the FA Cup fifth round.
- Daniel Farke had said ahead of the game that Leeds United’s Premier League survival was the priority, but a win in the FA Cup fourth round at St Andrew’s would reach the last 16, with seven players out and two back.
- In the shootout, Lucas Perri saved Tommy Doyle's penalty, and Sean Longstaff said, `Lucas was massive today, obviously in the shootout but in the game, the first half especially,' Longstaff told TNT Sports.
- Birmingham used the Championship pause to focus on the FA Cup, with the tie offering opportunities for debutants and fringe players, including Sam Chambers and Alfie Cresswell.
- Just six days later, Leeds face Aston Villa with Pascal Struijk and Anton Stach still sidelined, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin has returned from illness, and some players may be kept on rehab timelines, said Farke.
