"We had a video but unfortunately, for the first two penalties, they didn't have the numbers on the shorts so it was difficult for me to see,"
"For the third one [by Doyle], we didn't know exactly where he would shoot. So I went with instinct and I'm happy to help the club."
"It makes it easier knowing that, if you miss, there are still more penalties to come. I'm really happy for Lucas, because it's been a little bit up and down for him. He deserves it."
Lucas Perri made several vital saves and converted a decisive instinctive save in the shootout as Leeds defeated Birmingham 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw following extra time. Perri joined Leeds from Lyon in July after their promotion to the Premier League and began the season as first-choice, starting 13 successive league games before being dropped after a 4-3 defeat at Newcastle. Perri replaced Karl Darlow for the fourth-round tie and tipped Jay Stansfield's drive onto the woodwork. Sean Longstaff scored the winning spot kick and praised Perri for multiple important saves and resilience.
