Sturridge to the rescue as Reds shake off County

Daniel Sturridge scored twice as Liverpool survived a major scare against Notts County at Anfield to book their place in the third round of the Capital One Cup, winning 4-2 after extra-time.

The Reds opened the scoring on four minutes through a fine solo effort from Raheem Sterling. Sturridge then made the most of a defence-splitting pass from Steven Gerrard to put the hosts 2-0 up on 29 minutes.

League One outfit County hit back with a headed goal in the 62nd minute from Yoann Arquin. The visitors then stunned Reds fans with an equaliser with six minutes of normal time left through sub Adam Coombes.
