Related Topics: Adam Birchall

Adam Birchall gave his thoughts on a thrilling penalty shoot-out victory over QPR in the FA Youth Cup for our U18s on Saturday night.

The score had been level at 2-2 after 90 minutes, but we took the lead through Louis Zecevic-John in the first half of extra time.

There was one more twist however, as Emmerson Sutton completed a hat-trick for QPR to send the tie to penalties.

Jack Porter then went on to save two of the four QPR spot kicks, allowing us to win the shoot-out 4-2 and progress to the next round.
