In a season containing more lows than highs, there was certainly something to cherish about Hull City's EFL Cup win over Newcastle United on Tuesday night.
Amid the demands of a Premier League survival fight, Mike Phelan's men have battled through to the League Cup semifinals for the first time in the club's history.
The unlikely adventure began at Exeter City in August before taking in stops at Stoke City and Bristol City, but a new peak came with a penalty shootout win over a Newcastle side topping the Championship.
Who will win?
The KCOM Stadium was too sparsely populated for Tuesday to be described as one of the Tigers' great nights but there was nothing ordinary about the quarterfinal win.
