Viewers expressed frustration and labeled Sky Sports “shambolic” as the broadcaster cut to a commercial break during Fulham’s historic 7-6 penalty shootout victory against Everton in the Carabao Cup quarter-final. The shootout, level at 6-6 and entering sudden death, left fans outraged as Sky interrupted the crucial moments for advertisements. One fan criticized the move, stating, “Go to ad break with pens at 6-6! What a p***take.”
Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo eventually scored the decisive penalty, securing the Cottagers a spot in the semi-finals for the first time. The drama unfolded after a 1-1 draw, with Everton’s Beto equalizing late after Michael Keane’s goal opener. While Sky Sports News featured footage of the penalties, the broadcast switched to commercials just as the shootout intensified.
Fans took to social media to express their displeasure, with comments ranging from disappointment to accusations of prioritizing money over fans. The tension-filled shootout saw Everton’s Jordan Pickford making crucial saves, but it was Fulham’s Tosin who emerged as the unexpected hero in sudden death.
