Brentford Football Club pulled off one of the biggest cup shocks in their history last night.
The Bees beat Premier League Everton in the League Cup third round on penalties in front of nearly 9,000 delirious fans at their Griffin Park home.
The Merseyside club had taken the lead but Brentford pulled back and although they missed a penalty in the second half when it went to a shoot-out they triumphed.
It sparked mass celebrations among the Brentford faithful with a pitch invasion and scenes of jubilation among players and fans.
It could set up an even bigger match as the Bees are now in the fourth round - last 16 - for only the second time in their history.
