English League Cup 2013: Spurs survive on penalties while City need extra time

Sunderland and Southampton did not play this week and will contest their tie next week. The quarterfinals will be played the week of December 16.

Quarterfinals

Spurs might have come closest to breaking the deadlock before full time, but it was Hull who scored in extras. The visitors had been putting Tottenham under pressure, winning a series of corners, and eventually that pressure was bound to tell. Paul McShane met one of them with a thumping header right down the middle, and his effort was hit with such venom that Friedel couldn’t keep it out despite getting a hand on the ball.

Mohamed Gedo had a fantastic chance to put the game away 107 minutes in, but couldn’t keep his shot on target after being played clean through on Friedel’s goal. Hull were made to regret that miss instantly. Kane, who had come so close to putting Spurs into the quarterfinals in normal time, cut inside, working space for a shot before slotting a 20-yard daisy-cutter into the far corner with Jakupovic helpless.

Ameobi had a good chance of his own on the half hour, though his volley towards the far post was palmed away by Pantilimon. The striker had the ball in the net a couple of minutes later, though was correctly adjudged to have been in an offside position when he tucked in Cissé‘s drilled cross-shot towards the far post.

Sadly there was no way back for Newcastle, with Džeko turning from assister to goalscorer right at the end of the first half of extra time. He calmly rounded Krul after being slipped in by Milner, and rolled the ball into an open goal for 2-0.

Tottenham Hotspur injuries and suspensions

Premier League sides Chelsea, Stoke, West Ham and Manchester United all advanced to the quarterfinals of the Capital One Cup on Tuesday, while Fulham were upset by Championship side Leicester City.

Here’s a rundown of the scores from Tuesday’s league cup matches.

Arsenal: Fabianski, Monreal, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Jenkinson, Ramsey (Park 82’), Wilshere, Cazorla, Rosicky, Miyachi (Özil 63’), Bendtner (Giroud 67’)

Goals: None

Unlike Chelsea -- who won this tournament back in 2007 -- Arsenal haven’t had their hands on the League Cup in over two decades, last tasting success in 1993. However, they have been beaten finalists twice since, and have ended up runners-up on five occasions in total -- that’s more than any other team.

Arsenal injuries and suspensions

Sure, it’s only the Capital One Cup, but it’s better than nothing. Maybe. 14 of the 16 remaining teams will face off on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, knowing that a win would see them into the quarterfinals of this prestigious tournament.

All kickoffs are 7:45 p.m. local, 3:45 p.m. ET
