Premier League sides Southampton, Norwich City, West Ham and West Brom all advanced comfortably. Liverpool coughed up a 2-0 lead but scored twice in extra time to survive against Notts County from League One. Liverpool finished the match with 10-men after Kolo Toure was stretchered off in extra time with the Reds out of substitutions.
Matty Fryatt's 109th minute goal saved Hull City as they avoided an upset at the hands of Leyton Orient, while Fulham needed penalties to defeat Burton Albion.
Sunderland avoided an embarrassing upset against League One's MK Dons, scoring four times in the final 12 minutes to turn a 0-2 deficit into a 4-2 win. US international Jozy Altidore score to begin the comeback and Connor Wickham's brace moved the Black Cats into the lead.
