‎Leeds has reached the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 39 years after surviving a dramatic penalty shoot-out in a thrilling clash with West Ham
‎
‎Daniel Farke’s side were moments away from victory at the London Stadium after Ao Tanaka’s first-half goal and Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s second-half penalty put them in control on Sunday
‎
‎However, West Ham staged a stoppage-time rally as Mateus Fernandes reduced the deficit before Axel Disasi’s equaliser forced extra time.
‎
‎With the score still level at 2-2 after the additional period, Leeds keeper Lucas Perri emerged as their shoot-out hero.
‎
‎Joel Piroe missed Leeds’ first penalty, but Calvert-Lewin, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto, and Pascal Struijk all converted their kicks.
‎
‎Perri saved Jarrod Bowen’s opening effort for West Ham and also denied Pablo as Leeds won 4-2 on penalties.
‎
‎It was their second shoot-out victory in the competition this season, following their fourth-round success at Birmingham.
‎
‎Leeds will face Chelsea in the semi-finals at Wembley later in April.
