West Ham 2-2 Leeds (2-4 on pens): What Farke said
My focus now is on the Premier League. Step by step we want to celebrate a few more points in the Premier League. Leeds United have won two penalty shootouts within a single season in all competitions (also v Birmingham in February) for only the second time in their history, after 2016-17.
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke, speaking to BBC Sport : "We never do it the easy way. We could have had it easier if we were more composed but it's the FA Cup quarter-final away tie and we expect the other team to give everything until the end. This is what happened.
I'm pretty proud we were able to calm our nerves down after setbacks in the game. "It was not an easy game for us in many aspects but to be able to celebrate with out fantastic supporters will do lots for our confidence. It's a big night for everyone connected with Leeds United.
" On how his players kept their nerve : "I have good boys and good character, we work on our mentality and character day in, day out. I always trust my boys. It's always up to the players to deliver on the pitch and they did fantastically well to settle after this nervy period.
We are not perfect, but we always play with desire and a great mentality and a great togetherness. By doing this we have this achievement today to be in the semi-final for the first time since the 1980s. " On drawing Chelsea in semi-final : "We will be the underdog, that's for sure.
