 Swansea produced a majestic performance at Anfield to reach the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup for the first time in their history and in doing so beat the team of their former manager Brendan Rodgers.

Liverpool, the holders, were outplayed in the first half and deservedly trailed at the break thanks to Chico Flores's powerful header.

Rodgers responded by throwing on Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling as second half substitutes but it was Swansea who struck again as Nathan Dyer made it 2-0 with 20 minutes remaining.

Suarez glanced in Gerrard's free-kick four minutes later to cut the deficit but in injury time Swansea added a third through Jonathan De Guzman to record a famous victory.
