Beto would score in the 82nd minute of the match to take the game to penalties.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everton took the advantage in the shootout, with Jordan Pickford saving Bobby De Cordova-Reid&#8217;s spot-kick, giving Onana the chance to send his side into the semi-finals of the tournament. But his tame effort was saved by Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno giving the visitors a lifeline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Idrissa Gana Gueye would go on to hit the post, with former Everton man Antonee Robinson\u00a0and\u00a0Tosin Adarabioyo both scoring the final two penalties for Fulham and win the shootout 7-6.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was a tough moment for Onana, who appeared to hop twice during his run up before side-footing a low shot to the right side of the goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/20\/09\/79163511-12884927-image-a-30_1703065249043.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Everton midfielder Amadou Onana has been criticised by fans online for a penalty he took during their defeat by Fulham in the EFL Cup on Tuesday<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/20\/09\/79163503-12884927-image-a-31_1703065253609.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Blues crashed out of the tournament on penalties, with some blasting Onana for his weak attempt that was saved by Bernd Leno<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>And his attempt has drawn criticism from fans online, with some claiming he should have picked a corner and blasted the ball into the back of the net.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Amadou Onana with the chance to win the game&#8230; And hits one of the worst penalties I&#8217;ve seen for some time and costs us the chance to advance.
