A hilarious yet brilliant penalty sequence during the shootout between Accrington Stanley and Bradford City has gone viral.

Last night's EFL Cup clash between Accrington and Bradford went to a penalty shootout after playing out a 1-1 draw in normal time.

Bradford took the lead through Alex Pattison, who opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time. Josh Andrews levelled proceedings in the 66th minute.

The Bantams won the penalty shootout 4-1 to book their spot in the next round of the competition, with Accrington's third penalty sending social media wild.

With the score 3-1 on penalties, Korede Adedoyin stepped up to take a penalty but completely fluffed his lines from the spot.

He slipped when he made connection with the ball, with Bradford keeper Harry Lewis diving the other way.

But the goalkeeper got back to his feet and managed to claw the ball off the line, saving Adedoyin's penalty.

The fan reaction behind the goal made for incredible viewing, too. Bradford fans initially celebrated the Accrington forward's slip then paused, before celebrating again after Lewis prevented him from scoring.

Needless to say, the sequence between Lewis and Adedoyin got fans talking online.

One Twitter user wrote: "If ever a penalty summed up League 2 Football it's this. The way everyone cheered, panicked then cheered again."

A second tweeted: "One of the best things I’ve ever seen on a football pitch."

A third added: "That's so bad that it's absolutely brilliant."

A fourth said: "The double-celebration is extraordinary here."

Another commented: "The Magic of the EFL Cup."

The encounter between the two League Two sides will be remembered for Adedoyin's penalty as Bradford look forward to the next round.
