Cambridge United 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday (AET): Luke Berry winner puts Owls out
Tuesday 9 August 2016 23:25, UK
Luke Berry's extra-time winner saw League Two Cambridge stun Championship Sheffield Wednesday in the first round of the EFL Cup with a 2-1 victory.
Lucas Joao put the Owls ahead seven minutes into the second half but a last-minute strike from Piero Mingoia levelled to send the game into extra time.
And when the tie looked to be heading for penalties, Berry popped up to fire home the winner.
Tom Dallison saw an early effort ruled out for offside before Joe Pigott forced Wednesday goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith into a smart save.
Will Buckley almost put Wednesday ahead when he stepped in off the flank and rattled a shot off the inside of David Gregory's post.
