Bruce is not alone is never seeing anything like what unfolded, with the shootout going into the history books as the longest in the professional game in England.<\/p>\n

Non-league sides Washington and Bedlington hold the overall record in England for their 54-penalty shootout that decided a Ernest Armstrong Memorial Cup game in 2022.<\/p>\n

But it was only in September that Championship side Preston prevailed against Premier League club Fulham 16-15 in a Carabao Cup shootout in which 34 spot-kicks were taken.<\/a> <\/p>\n

The world record for a shootout is believed to be the 56 penalties taken by Israeli sides SC Dimona and Shimshon Tel Aviv in May 2024 in a semi-final promotion play-off, with both sides taking 28 before SC Dimona prevailed 23-22.<\/p>\n

On this occasion it took a fightback from Villa to force the game to go to penalties, with 18-year-old midfielder Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba levelling after Elliot Embleton put the hosts ahead less than a minute into the second half.<\/p>\n

Those goals, however, become just footnotes in what turned out to be a remarkable night that was settled in a shootout that dragged on for nearly half an hour.<\/p>\n

It started with Kane Taylor slamming home the first for Villa. <\/p>\n

And while Albie Morgan dragged his effort wide with Blackpool’s second spot-kick, a save from Tangerines goalkeeper Richard O’Donnell to foil Aidan Borland’s penalty set up the mammoth showdown that was eventually settled by the woodwork.<\/p>\n

Villa’s win means they are the last remaining Under-21 side left in the English Football League competition, advancing to face League Two side Bradford in the last 16, with Peterborough United joining them after a 3-0 win over Northampton Town sent Posh through to a home date with Walsall. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
