Liverpool vs Northampton Town Match Report
Liverpool lost embarrassingly at home to Northampton Town in a penalty shootout. The Anfield faithful were aghast to see their side squander chances in regular time, and miss again from the penalty spot. Reds manager Roy Hodgson saw his team beaten off pitch by League Two team Northampton Town, and will worry how long his reign will last.The night at Anfield began well with an goal from Milan Jovanovic in the 9th minute. The team failed to increase their lead before the half-time whistle, and Liverpool’s departure from the Carling Cup began to take shape when Billy McKay equalised in the 56th minute. A second goal in extra time from Northampton player Michael Jacobs hushed the home supporters, but relief came when David Ngog brought the Reds level in the 116th minute.
Missed penalties by Ngog and Nathan Eccleston were all it took for Northampton to claim their colossal win. The Cobblers secured their fourth round spot with relentless effort, while Liverpool can only regret wasting their opportunity to advance past a lesser team.
