Dallas-born Fulham defender Brede Hangeland inflicted a surprising 1-0 loss on Premier League title hopeful Arsenal yesterday in London, and Steven Gerrard executed a winner deep into injury time to complete Liverpool's 2-1 comeback win over Middlesbrough.
Hangeland, who captains Norway, slid forward to poke Jimmy Bullard's low cross over the line in the 21st minute.
In other second-round matches, Premier League newcomers Stoke beat Aston Villa, 3-2; Sunderland won, 2-1, at Tottenham; Everton overcame West Brom, 2-1; Newcastle defeated Bolton, 1-0; and Hull tied Blackburn, 1-1.
Liverpool trailed in the 70th minute after a long-range goal by Middlesbrough striker Mido, but equalized with five minutes remaining when Jamie Carragher's shot went in off defender Emanuel Pogatetz.
Gerrard made it two straight wins for Liverpool in the fourth minute of injury time.
