Liverpool win Carling Cup

Liverpool's six-year wait for a trophy was ended by a Gerrard... Cardiff's Anthony, cousin of Reds captain Steven, that is.

Joe Mason had given the Bluebirds a first-half lead but goals from Martin Skrtel and, in extra time, Dirk Kuyt had put Kenny Dalglish's side within touching distance of the trophy before Ben Turner pegged them back.

So it went to spot-kicks, where Liverpool had lost only two in 12 previously.

26-year-old Anthony Gerrard, on as a substitute in extra time, missed the penalty in a shoot-out which gave the Merseysiders' a record eighth League Cup.
