VIDEO: Coutinho sends League Cup final to extra time with late goal
Reuters
After watching Manchester City spurn a couple of glorious chances to put the Capital One Cup out of reach in the second half, and getting the benefit of a missed penalty call, Liverpool stunned the Citizens with an 83rd-minute equaliser at Wembley.
A clever bit of buildup play saw Daniel Sturridge whip a fantastic ball across the penalty area, and the despair of Liverpool supporters who watched Adam Lallana smack his shot off the post quickly turned to jubilation, as the rebound careened straight to Philippe Coutinho, who slid home to tie the contest at one goal apiece.
83 - Philippe Coutinho has scored the equaliser with Liverpool's first shot on target in this League Cup final. Crucial.
