Tired Liverpool reach cup final

LIVERPOOL, England -- Three points from Liverpool's 6-5 win on penalties over Stoke that puts them in the Capital One Cup final for a record 12th time...

Liverpool had never lost a cup tie to Stoke and Jurgen Klopp had never lost a semifinal as a manager. Their luck, and his luck, continued in a 6-5 victory on penalties after a fraught contest went to extra time.

Adam Lallana, Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino and James Milner scored for the hosts, as did Jonathan Walters, Glenn Whelan, Ibrahim Afellay and Xherdan Shaqiri for Stoke.
