Birmingham City eventually found their way into round three of the Capital One Cup on Tuesday but they had to go to penalties.
Bizarre is the only way to describe the happenings at Huish Park last night that saw an incident in the game leaving Birmingham players, management and fans fuming.
With the score at 2-1 to City, Colin Doyle kicked the ball out of play to allow treatment to defender Dan Burn.
But when play resumed, instead of giving the ball back to Blues from the throw in, Byron Webster lobbed the keeper to level the score and take the game into extra time.
There were protests from the City players as they demanded that Glover’s manager Gary Johnson tell his players to allow Birmingham to score unchallenged, that move never came and extra time was soon to follow.
Yeovil then took the lead in the extra 30 minutes through Luke Ayling, but then Yeovil had a change of heart and then allowed Lee Novak to go forward and score while the home side remained static.
The score remained at 3-3 and penalties were left to sort the two sides out which saw City go through with Tom Adeyemi scoring the winner.
Yeovil: Hennessey, Ayling, Seaborne, Webster, McAllister, Grant, Edwards, Upson, Davis (Hoskins, 65)Hayter, Moore.
Subs: Dawson, Foley, Ngoo, Tate, Ralls, Dunn.
Blues: Doyle Eardley Bartley Bunn Robinson Burke Adeyemi Spector, Shinnie (Ambrose, 86) Green (Allan, 76), Novak.
Subs: Townsend, Mullins, Elliott, Reilly, Lee.
