Visitors Blackburn did take the lead in the first half through Jack Vale, with Pablo Fornals equalising before half-time. Michail Antonio sealed victory with just over ten minutes remaining with a shot from the edge of the penalty area, only for substitute Ben Brereton Diaz to snatch a late equaliser to send the ties to penalties. After 19 perfect penalties, Angelo Ogbonna hit the bar to give Blackburn a cup upset.
