Gomez sends Swans flying through

Swansea ended Hull's unbeaten start to the season by clinching a 2-1 extra-time victory in the Carling Cup second round at the Liberty Stadium.

The Coca-Cola Championship side overcame an early deficit to triumph in extra-time courtesy of a Jordi Gomez penalty after 104 minutes.

Veteran striker Dean Windass, making his first start of the campaign, fired Hull ahead during a one-sided opening period. But Swansea drew level through Gorka Pintado's 63rd-minute glancing header, although the Spaniard then had an injury-time penalty saved that would have spared his team the additional 30 minutes.

The Tigers, buoyant following a Barclays Premier League victory over Fulham and draw against Blackburn, took a deserved 11th-minute lead.

The impressive Nicky Barmby threaded a pass into Swansea's penalty area, and Caleb Folan's dummy gave Windass all the time and space he needed to slot the ball past a stranded Dorus de Vries.

It was an effortless finish by the 39-year-old, and underlined why he can remain a prominent part of Hull's league and cup campaign.

Swansea boss Roberto Martinez made a double substitution within nine minutes of the restart, sending on Pintado for Joe Allen and replacing Matty Collins with Angel Rangel.

With the hosts revitalised by the change they grabbed a deserved equaliser when Pintado sent a glancing header past Matt Duke.

Swansea, sensing a first League Cup third round appearance for more than 20 years, continued to pound away inside Hull's half and a superb Pintado run ended with a drive smashing against the post before his missed penalty meant extra-time.

Swansea grabbed the only goal of the extra period when Michael Turner fouled Shaun MacDonald in the box and Gomez tucked in the penalty just before half-time of extra-time.
