94 mins: Raheem Sterling's miserable match against his former club shows no sign of letting up, and the forward is berated mercilessly as he miscontrols in front of the fans who used to worship him. The 21-year-old had two chances - one good, the other glorious - to net a decisive goal in normal, but fluffed his lines on both occasions.  7f7a4346-8e4c-493c-b2ca-e3bf8dc3dceb.jpg

Raheem Sterling with more great work defensively for Liverpool!

97 mins: The opening minutes of the first period of extra has had none of the frantic attacking of the final half hour of normal time, and it seems that the mindsets have switched from two teams trying to win it to a pair desperate not to lose it. Both managers may as well start thinking about their five penalty takers.

101 mins: Divock Origi senses this is his moment to make himself an Anfield hero. Picking up possession 35 yards from goal, the forward turns away from his marker in one fluid movement, takes a couple of strides forward and unleashes a thumping effort......the sails into the Manchester City fans in the middle tier behind the goal.

105 mins: Simon Mignolet to the Liverpool rescue again! Sergio Aguero still hasn't got a cup final goal, and he may not get a better chance this season. Taking advantage of Henderson's miscue, the striker breezed past the leggy Lucas to go clear in the box. With the goal gaping, Aguero flicked a shot with the outside of his boot towards the far corner than the Belgian stopper somehow managed to claw away to safety.

EXTRA-TIME HALF-TIME: LIVERPOOL 1 MANCHESTER CITY 1:

EXTRA-TIME SECOND HALF KICK-OFF: A few final words from their managers, and the two sides are away once again. Fifteen minutes stand between now and a penalty shoot-out, and Manuel Pellegrini still has one substitute available to him if he wishes to make it.

107 mins: Perhaps neither side fancy spotkicks because suddenly the game has opened up again, and it's end to end. After Kolo Toure had stood up to his brother in defence, and come out the clear winner, Liverpool strode forward with intent. After a flurry of miscued shots and clearances around the City box, Milner stepped up a cross into the six yard box for Origi, but the Belgian's header was parried away by Caballero.

112 mins: The Milner to Origi combination has Manchester City hearts in mouths once again, but the substitute is just unable to get a boot on the inswinging cross of the midfielder, and a relieved Caballero takes hold of play.

113 mins: Milner sets up another opportunity...but this time it's as his own end. The Liverpool man made an awful mess of heading back Caballero's punt to Mignolet, and that allowed Aguero to nip in. However, the forward didn't get enough on the ball, and it rose high into the crowd.

117 mins: If you thought the players would be short of energy with just three minutes of extra-time remaining, you'd be surprised to see the amount of energy Adam Lallana and Yaya Toure have just demonstrated in going at each other after the Liverpool man had fouled Wilfried Bony. After some squaring up, pushing and Toure picking Lallana up off the floor, Michael Oliver booked both.8afdebb6-697a-4f1e-89d6-6ad35af6612b.jpgFisticuffs.
