Reds survive shootout marathon

Liverpool reached the English League Cup last 16 after an extraordinary third round tie saw them beat second-tier Middlesbrough 14-13 in a penalty shoot-out on Tuesday, while South-ampton knocked Arsenal out of the competition.

Both goalkeepers scored in a shoot-out at Anfield where all 22 players still on the field took spot-kicks before Middlesbrough's Albert Adomah fired wide to ensure eight-times League Cup winners Liverpool's victory.

Earlier, 17-year-old striker Jordan Rossiter marked his Liverpool debut with a 10th-minute goal before Adam Reach equalised for Middlesbrough just after the hour.

The sides remained locked at 1-1 until the end of normal time.

That led to a remarkable 30 more penalties in the shoot-out.

Earlier, Southampton -- second in the Premier League -- came from behind to win 2-1 away to top-flight rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
