Hull City knocked Stoke out of the Carabao Cup 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the bet365 Stadium. Robert Bozenik opened the scoring for the hosts before Kieran Dowell equalised on the stroke of half time. Sergej Jakirovic made 11 changes to the side that beat Manchester United, handing debuts to Lucas Herrington and Matt Targett. Mark Robins made seven changes for Stoke, with Sorba Thomas assisting Bozenik's header. David Akintola missed two golden chances for Hull after the break. In the shootout, George Hirst saw his penalty saved by Dillon Phillips, while Mohamed Belloumi converted the winning spot kick to send Hull into round three for the first time in six years.

Stoke manager Mark Robins felt his side played alright but lacked clear-cut openings. He praised the movement for Bozenik's goal but acknowledged the penalty shootout lottery. Hull's progression continues their impressive start under Jakirovic following their weekend upset at Old Trafford.
