West Ham 2-2 Leeds (2-4 on penalties)
Leeds United
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke, speaking to TNT Sports: "We always do it the tough way, never the easy way. A quarter-final away game against a Premier League side is never an easy ride. We could have made our lives easier. We showed great mentality and I am proud of the boys today with how we kept the nerves and won the game in the end. Pretty important day for everyone connected with Leeds United.
"To score two goals, we could have put the game to bed even a bit earlier. We had a late sucker punch when the whole stadium was buzzing. To keep the nerves and win the penalty shootout shows great mentality and character. A chapter of Leeds United history, we were in the semi-finals really a while ago."
On the 9,000 travelling fans now looking forward to a Wembley trip: "It will be a big night for us. It's a great step for this club and a great reward for everyone connected with this club. We are still buzzing but already looking forward to making sure we stay on a good path in the Premier League."
