Leeds Boss Garry Monk Hoping to Face a Premier League Side in EFL Cup Quarter-Finals
"?Leeds boss Garry Monk hopes his penalty heroes come up against a Premier League side in the next round of the EFL Cup, after beating Norwich City last night.
"?Sky Sports report that Monk, who won the trophy as a player with Swansea said after the tense shoot-out: "I would love to get a Premier League side here.
"Can you imagine a full-house here and that type of game? We'll see what the draw brings."
Leeds came back from being a goal behind, thanks to a strike from Marcus Antonsson, before Chris Wood levelled again leading to the penalty shootout.
The 37-year-old also admitted to not watching the penalties, though admitted to being elated that the side won the hard fought match, taking to his Twitter after the game.
So proud of tonight's effort. Real tenacity from the players and incredible support from our fans. We now have to keep it going. #MOT pic.twitter.com/9IJhLGEJ7t
The former Swansea manager has endured a rollercoaster time as the boss of the Championship side, who currently sit 10th in the league standings.
There were reports that he could be possibly fired, but has helped turn around their fortunes, picking up six wins in 14 matches.
Leeds are now the only side, other than Newcastle, from the Championship to reach the quarterfinals of the competition.
The draw is set to take place on Wednesday evening after the concluding matches, with the possibility of facing one of the Manchester clubs who face-off against one another.
