wanted to celebrate.” Grant delighted as Huddersfield down Sunderland LEE GRANT expressed his delight as Huddersfield earned a 6-5 penalty shoot out win against Sunderland in the third round of the Carabao Cup. The game reached spot-kicks after Marc Guiu cancelled out Leo Castledine’s opener to draw 1-1 in normal time and Milan Aleksic had his penalty saved for the Terriers to win. It is their second successive shoot-out victory in the competition having beaten Championship side Leicester in the first round, and Grant expressed his pride. “I’m delighted, proud of the group, obviously,” he said. “The whole group, the ones who played, the ones who don’t. The staff, quickest off the mark when needed as well. Absolutely delighted.” It is the latest in a string of positive results for the Terriers, who are second in League One, and Grant revealed he has been “bowled over” by the work rate of his players. “Regardless of whether you’re 18, 19 or senior, the guys on the pitch today all deserved to be there. “Again, delighted for them because they’re working so hard as a group every single day. “Some of them are doing that in the shadows more so at the moment and have had opportunities at Leicester and Sunderland to show where they’re at. “I’ve been bowled over by how ready they’ve been to come into a side and execute.”

Farke apologises to fans DANIEL FARKE said he was embarrassed and apologised to Leeds fans after his side crashed out of the Carabao Cup on penalties against Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls won the shootout 3-0 at a virtually empty Hillsborough after Leeds substitute Jayden Bogle had cancelled out goalkeeper Karl Darlow’s second-half own goal. Leeds’ stunning upset was compounded by Ao Tanaka’s knee injury, with Farke revealing the absent Japan midfielder will be out until after the international break after damaging MCL ligaments in Saturday’s defeat at Arsenal. Farke said after his side’s second-round exit: “We have to take all of the criticism and we are self-critical because out of all the chances we should put four or five goals to bed. “It’s always a bit annoying and you feel a bit embarrassed as a Premier League side, but we have been involved in so many games on this level, especially in the cup – this is why there are so many surprises and shock results. “Even the team in the lower league can win such a game. Today was one of those days and congratulations to Sheffield Wednesday.” When asked for his message to Leeds fans, Farke said: “You can feel for them. We’re sorry anyhow. “We feel a bit embarrassed that we don’t go through in such a game. We can just say ‘sorry’ because they made the trip and
