Reds Through After Six-Goal ET-Thriller
Sports - Football - Capital One Cup - Liverpool 4-2 Notts County
Record winners Liverpool were pushed into extra time before finally beating League One side Notts County 4-2 in the Capital One 2nd Round tie at Anfield.
The game started too comfortable for the home side, the Reds dominating possession and play on the first half. Raheem Sterling opened the scoring early on in the fourth minute beating two defenders to clip a shot in after a fine run from 40 yards out.
Daniel Sturridge doubled the score slamming in Steven Gerrard's cross from a tight angle.
The only downer for the home side was the early change they had to make after just nine minutes, defender Aly Cissokho hobbling off and being replaced by Daniel Agger following a challenge from Magpie's Jamal Campbell Ryce.
Gerrard, Agger and Kolo Toure all hit the woodwork as Brendan Rodgers' men looked nearly certain to progress through to the third round without too much of a sweat.
But the visitors pulled off an unexpected turnaround in the second half, Yoann Arquin smashing in a powerful header with just under half an hour to go before Adam Coombles netted the Martinique international's fine run and pull-back-pass to complete he visitor's comeback.
Meanwhile, Joe Allen had limped off the pitch injured for the Reds.
Extra time brought extra pains and strains on to Liverpool after Toure was forced off injured, reducing the home side to ten men as they had used up all three of their substitutions in normal play time.
But the Reds restored their lead in the 109th minute when Sturridge squeezed in his second goal of the night under County keeper Bartosz Bialkowski.
Substitute Jordan Henderson sealed the win with a cheeky nutmeg through defender Enda Stevens
before curling a low shot into the bottom corner to make it 4-2 to the Reds.

SCFC kick off 2nd half!
47. Coutinho runs & sends the ball wide, fine bright start by the Reds again!
50. Clearance made by Toure!
54. Begovic clears another golden chance, denying Henderson.
59. Stoke enjoying more possession the start of the second half, less pressure from the home side, more even game.
61. Coutinho turn & pace, puts ball through to Sturridge who runs too far on the left again & is denied by Begovic again.
62. Gerrard corner headed wide by Aspas.
63. Stoke changes: 7 Pennant & 16 Adam on for 26 Etherington & 6 Whelan, Hughes has had enough of the new boys.
64. Aspas shot comes off the post, think Begovic got a touch, what a save, LFC denied AGAIN! Corner defended well...
65. Enrique puts chance high.
68. Pennant takes Stoke free kick from right, ball eventually falls to Huth who puts a scruffy kick through to Mignolet who holds on to it! Gerrard is down injured! Physio comes on... The skipper's ok!
71. Walters hot straight to Mignolet. 72. 1st LFC change: 9 Aspas is replaced by 31 Sterling, applause all round!
74. Sturridge fires one through, angled across, wide.
76. Toure booked for a late tackle, Mignolet collects ball.
78. Free kick to the Reds bang front of goal outside the box, what a smacker by Gerrard, the rocket was stopped by Begovic, whipped around for a corner. Ball goes ping-pong & out, awkward one, put out by Begovic for another corner, cleared. Action areas: 19-44-37.
81. Last Stoke change, 25 Crouch off for 9 Jones, applause all round again, nice one for the former Red.

86. LFC press on but come to nothing, frustrating finish for the home side, nervous to keep hold of this lead!!!
88. Free kick to Stoke, will this be the sucker punch...
PENALTY for handball against Agger & Mignolet SAVES it!!! To his right! What a finish!!! Corner, free kick, Mignolet... This is killing me! Another corner to visitors... Or they think so... Goal kick taken...
And the players are at each others' throats! Ref's doing a good job talking to both captains, calming them down... What a game!!! Free kick to LFC near the halfway line...
3 minutes added on... Coutinho sends a chance wide... Corner to LFC, they're wasting time... Another corner... YNWA echoing around the KOP!
Last time LFC won opening game of the season at home was 12 years ago against West Ham...
Goal kick, Walters has it... OMG... Stoke still attacking... Cleared...
And that's FT after 4 minutes added on, Mignolet has saved LFC's 1-0 win against a stubborn Stoke with a heroic penalty save! Sturridge's goal won the game, Begovic's man-of-the-match performance with save after save was all for nothing in the end. Rodgers & co can & will be very relieved! And I can breath again...

7. First corner to LFC, cleared, dominating possession & chances early on, Stoke on the counter, Cameron run from the left side, wins a corner.
8. Huth strike off the post! Not a happy moment for Mignolet, scare for LFC!
11. Sturridge heads in perfect Gerrard free kick! Goal disallowed offside, JUST right! Close one!
13. Corner by Gerrard, Toure header off the bar! Rebound put high & out by Sturridge, close again for LFC! Pressure's on Stoke!
14. Sturridge is in again, goes wide, shoots in from left, well saved & pushed away by Begovic! What a game!!!
16. LFC pressing on to Stoke's box, visitors keep blocking out stubborn Reds.
17. Former Red Crouch concedes free kick.
18. Crouch goes down in the box against Johnson, nothing given, good decision by the ref, was a bit drama queen by the giant!
19. Mignolet continuing his nervy start giving the ball away...
20. Coutinho to Aspas in the box, not a good pass, ball goes too far & out for a goal kick.
23. Coutinho sends another chance high, fine cross from Lucas on the right.
27. The game has calmed down a lot! Kick-about in the midfield, no real threat by either side...
