Liverpool lead at half time courtesy of goals from Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge. Sterling scored 4 minutes into the game after making a run through two Notts County players and firing a low shot. Sturridge scored on the half hour mark with a shot from 12 yards, making it 3 goals in 3 games for the England international. Steven Gerrard, Kolo Toure and Daniel Agger all hit the woodwork during the first 45 minutes.<br />

New signing Aly Cissokho was pulled off on a stretcher 9 minutes into his first start, but Brendan Rodgers played down the injury saying the Frenchman is in contention for the Manchester United game next sunday.<br />

County rallied in the second half and made a superb fightback, courtesy of a powerful header from Martinique striker Yoann Arquin on 62 minutes. Arquin created the second goal for fellow striker Adam Coombes who fired in a shot at the far post.&nbsp;<br />

The game was taken to extra time, and goals from Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge secured the win for Liverpool.&nbsp;
