Chelsea's penalty shoot-out curse ended in the most dramatic fashion as they survived the sending-off of Alex to beat Fulham 4-3 on penalties after a goalless draw and reach the Carling Cup fourth round.
Pajtim Kasami hit the crossbar with a second-half spot-kick after Alex saw red and Bryan Ruiz did the same in the subsequent shoot-out, with replays inconclusive as to whether the ball crossed the line.
Chelsea's win improved their miserable record of seven penalty shoot-out defeats from their previous eight and gave manager Andre Villas-Boas another chance to blood his youngsters in the next round.
Their starting line-up was a reflection of owner Roman Abramovich's desire to use the Carling Cup as a breeding ground for the club's youngsters.
They crashed out at the same stage last season after that policy was introduced and there were predictable signs of players getting to know each other early on.
Only a last-gasp Stephen Kelly challenge on Florent Malouda prevented them taking the lead 16 minutes in however, the Frenchman also whipping in a cross two minutes later that Salomon Kalou glanced wide.
