Fans were left seething as Sky Sports cut to adverts during Fulham\u2019s 7-6 penalty shoot-out win over Everton.<\/p>\n
Beto\u2019s header in the 82nd minute for the Toffees forced the Carabao Cup quarter-final fixture straight to penalties following Michael Keane\u2019s first-half own goal. The two sides then had to battle it out in a gripping shoot-out, with it going to sudden death as viewers eagerly watched on Sky Sports News.<\/p>\n
But just as it reached its climax with Everton\u2019s Idrissa Gueye hitting the post, the broadcast suddenly switched to the adverts with the score 6-6. And fans were left furious as they could not believe Sky would cut away at such a crucial moment in the tie.<\/p>\n

One X user fumed: \u201cA perfect demonstration as to why English football needs to move to its own streaming platform. Shambolic decision from a network that has given up trying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another tweeted: \u201cAbsolute shambles on Sky, leaving it in sudden death for the adverts. They even missed the third penalty dithering around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others chimed in by writing: \u201cWHY ARE SKY GOING TO ADVERTS AT THE PIVOTAL MOMENT OF PENS,\u201d and: \u201cSports coverage is so far behind in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The broadcaster eventually brought it back to the game, where Tosin Adarabioyo slotted the decisive penalty to emerge as the Cottagers\u2019 surprise hero. A tense shoot-out had seen Jordan Pickford keep out Bobby De Cordova-Reid\u2019s effort while Amadou Onana\u2019s bafflingly tame attempt was easily saved by Bernd Leno.<\/p>\n
Middlesbrough had a far more straightforward victory elsewhere in the quarter-finals, beating Port Vale 3-0 away from home. Meanwhile, Chelsea clinched a 4-2 penalties win over Newcastle after Mykhaylo Mudryk\u2019s late leveller at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
