Alex Neil expressed delight at his goalkeeping hero Lukas Jensen after the stopper's extraordinary quadruple save in the penalty shoot out at QPR which guided the Lions into the next round of the Carabao Cup.

But he also emphasised that the battle to become the regular number one is far from settled.

The 27-year-old Dane achieved what very few have ever done in the game by saving four out of four of Rangers' spot kicks to decide the outcome of the tie and he deservedly celebrated by taking selfies in front of visiting fans after his tour de force.

The Lions boss said: "Absolutely there's a battle for the number one spot. The main reason that Lukas played today was that I needed to see where he is in a competitive match.

"You can play as many pre-season games as you like but you need to see it competitive games. It didn't surprise me though what a good shot-stopper Lukas is. Saving four penalties though is obviously unique. There are obviously other bits of his game that needs to work on, but it's the same with every player.

"Certainly today, that element of it, he did brilliantly. That will do him the world of good today."

"It was a strange day in that two of our defenders scored their penalties and two of our forward players miss and then our goalie makes four saves so it was a nice way to top the game but quite bizarre

"To put that in context, the fact that Lukas has been missing for 15 months after a really, really bad injury then he comes back and then has another setback and I think he would have been dreaming of that moment for us in front of the fans.

"The lads pushed him forwards [after the game]. Making four penalty saves, being the reason really that we've made it through to the net round and I'm delighted for him because he's a great professional, a good lad and he wants to really, really push himself to get there, so fair play to him.

"It's incredible for him. It'll be something to tell his grandkids."

Looking back at the tie as a while, Neil said: "I thought we can play better - in and out of possession. I think we can do better in both facets of the game. I thought they controlled probably the best part of the ball first half. Second half I thought they had some moments and we had some moments.

"We had to make a few changes. We've got a few missing at the moment and we can't afford any more and in certain positions we need to be careful.

"I think my biggest frustration is conceding from a set play, so that was really disappointing because we defending our box our box is our bread and better and we do that really, really well.

There's still loads for us to work on, but you certainly learn more when you don't do as well as you should. Of you do well you just give yourself a pat on the back and go home and enjoy the night. It's not all negative. There were some good bits in there but I think we've got an expectancy about ourselves and there's still four or five levels for us to go.

"In taking the penalties it's all about the people who want to take responsibility and the one thing Jake [Cooper, the first taker] never ever does is shy away from responsibility."

Neil expressed satisfaction with his four debutants. On Jenson Metcalfe he said: "I thought Jenson's performance grew as the game went on. I thought his understanding and determination to turn the ball over and win tackles and that sort of stuff got better. I thought Tairyk [Arconte] gave us good pace when he came on running in behind.

"I think there's a real willingness to try and influence the game, but there's obviously a bit of work to do to get them up to the level of understanding that we need."

Alfie Doughty was withdrawn before the start as a precaution after feeling a hamstring twinge.
