Leeds United put in a woeful performance against Sheffield Wednesday as they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on penalties.
Karl Darlow conceded an own goal just after the hour mark before Jayden Bogle netted an equaliser late on.
However, Leeds went on to lose against Sheffield Wednesday on penalties to make it an early exit in the competition.
It was no doubt a worrying display against a side who were mainly made up of academy players.
Now, Leeds have made history after their shocking display against their Yorkshire rivals.

Daniel Farke could now be at the risk of the sack at Leeds United
While the Carabao Cup means little for Leeds’ objectives this season, there were plenty of worrying signs in the match.
Many of the Peacocks’ new signings were poor, and it wasn’t until the substitutes came on that the visitors looked like they were going to do something.
Given the backing Farke has had this summer, if he fails to get these stars ticking, he may soon get the boot.
Farke was almost sacked by Leeds at the end of last season despite their promotion, and now it may not be long until the German is under serious risk once again.
