Fans left in stitches at 'one of the worst penalties you'll ever see' during Accrington vs Bradford Carabao Cup shootout | The Sun
FANS have been left in stitches after Accrington Stanley's Korede Adedoyin had a shocker during the penalty shootout against Bradford.
The League Two sides faced off in the Carabao Cup, and as the game finished 1-1 after 90 minutes, they headed for a penalty shootout.
Bradford City went perfect from their first three spot-kicks while Jack Nolan missed Accrington's second penalty.
With the shootout score at 3-1, it meant that Adedoyin's had to score to keep Stanley in with a chance of progressing.
The winger, 22, however, slipped at the crucial moment as he tried to take his shot at goal.
Despite his fall, Adedoyin still managed to get his effort on target, but Bradford goalkeeper Harry Lewis was able to get up from his dive and keep it from crossing the line.
