Cardiff City have beaten Leicester City 7-6 on penalties after the sides drew 2-2 after extra time to make it through to the fourth round of the Carling Cup.

Lloyd Dyer then gave Sven-Goran Eriksson's side the lead in the 66th minute after he knocked in a rebound.

The Bluebirds took the game into extra time when Rudy Gestede lashed in from 25-yards with four minutes left.
