Hull manager Mike Phelan saluted shoot-out hero Eldin Jakupovic after his side clinched a place in the EFL Cup semi-finals for the first time in the club's history by beating Newcastle 3-1 on penalties.
Swiss goalkeeper Jakupovic, who has played second fiddle to David Marshall in the Premier League this season, saved penalties from Jonjo Shelvey and Yoan Gouffran, while Newcastle striker Dwight Gayle's spot-kick hit the crossbar.
Hull, who levelled through Robert Snodgrass within a minute of Mo Diame's opener for Newcastle in the first period of extra time, were clinical with their penalties as Snodgrass, skipper Michael Dawson and Tom Huddlestone were all on target.
