Swansea City ended Hull's unbeaten start to the season by clinching a richly-deserved 2-1 Carling Cup second-round victory at the Liberty Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Coca-Cola Championship side overcame an early deficit to triumph in extra time courtesy of a Jordi Gomez penalty.<\/p>\n
Veteran striker Dean Windass, making his first start of the campaign, fired Hull ahead during a one-sided opening period.<\/p>\n
But Swansea drew level through Gorka Pintado's 62nd-minute glancing header, although the Spaniard then had an injury-time penalty saved that would have spared his team the additional 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Pintado's arrival as a 54th-minute substitute injected life into Swansea, and Hull had to play second fiddle for the remainder of a fast and furious second period. <\/p>\n
The Tigers, buoyant following a Barclays Premier League victory over Fulham and draw against Blackburn, took a deserved 11th-minute lead. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
It paid immediate dividends, with Pintado sending a glancing header past Duke for a deserved equaliser.<\/p>\n
Swansea continued to pound away inside Hull's half and a superb Pintado run ended with a drive smashing against the post.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
