Gomez sends Swans flying through

Aug 26 2008

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.

Roberto Martinez's 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.
