League One Sunderland beat Championship side QPR on penalties to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

The Black Cats scored their three penalties, with Charlie Austin, Ilias Chair and Yoann Barbet missing for QPR.

QPR thought they had won it during normal time but Austin's header was ruled out for offside.

Aiden McGeady went close deep into injury time but he was denied by a good Seny Dieng save as it finished goalless and went to spot-kicks.

The quarter-final draw is on Saturday at 10:30 BST.

Both sides are among the top scorers in the English Football League this season but did not name their strongest sides. QPR made six changes and Sunderland made seven from the weekend.

They each had chances to win. Sunderland keeper Lee Burge kept out Barbet's half-volley and Lyndon Dykes' shot after he latched on to a misplaced pass in midfield.

QPR went even closer when substitute Austin headed Albert Adomah's ball into an empty net but it was disallowed.

Carl Winchester had two decent chances for Sunderland before McGeady went so close in the final minute.

But McGeady would not need to regret it too much, scoring the first Black Cats penalty to set them up to win.
