At the end of the first half of extra time, the Notts County players seemed to be a little out of strength, after all, the continuous fast-paced attack will consume a lot of their physical strength, and this time it is more dependent on the individual will of the players to fight.

Of course, Blackburn wasn't much better.

Violence has completely given up the attack, because Souness can clearly see the development of the game, even if he defends, he may not be able to defend the penalty shootout, and the attack at this time is simply self-defeating.

At the start of the second half of extra-time, Notts County's stormy attack came again.

Long shots, crosses, headers, almost all the ways that can be used, but they can't help the opponent's dense defense in front of the goal, Souness is also an experienced person, how can he not tell the players to be careful of fouls in dangerous areas, so throughout extra time, Notts County has not been able to get a good free kick opportunity.

Just when everyone thought that this League Cup would be dragged into a wonderful and brutal penalty shootout, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Souness is ready to arrange the order of his penalty kicks and is whispering to his assistant coach about which player has been in the best form to take a penalty recently.

The game time entered the last minute of the second half of extra time, Ribery has almost exhausted his physical strength, but he is still running tirelessly, officially due to his active pressing near the bottom line, to Notts County won a corner kick opportunity, this may be the last corner of the game, look at the time, this corner kick attack is over, the referee should blow the whistle of the end of the game, if Notts County can not rewrite the score through this corner kick, then the game will really enter the final penalty elimination stage.

At this time, where to think about defense, all the Notts County players gathered in the Blackburn penalty area, even Diego Lopez, who had never crossed the half, patted his butt, rushed through the half, squeezed into the Blackburn penalty area, and stood close to the Blackburn goalkeeper.

Alonso came to the corner with a serious expression, fixed the ball in this quarter-circle range, and silently retreated, this is the last chance, he must be extremely cautious.

In the small penalty area, the players on both sides are densely packed together, and the small movements are constant, you pinch me, I pull you, do everything.

It's no wonder that football players rarely come out in public, just imagine, if you know on the field that a keeps going up and down on you, the area of the psychological shadow is estimated to have to catch up with the Pacific Ocean.

The referee kept blowing stops, then separated, warning both players of their hand movements, and if only time was considered, the second half of extra time was over for two minutes.

When the referee signaled that Alonso could serve, the audience was silent, which was unusual compared to the previous suspense, but the surprisingly unanimous nervous expressions on the fans' faces betrayed their inner apprehension.

Alonso took a deep breath, took a few steps and unleashed a half-height ball with great speed and great internal curvature.

Blackburn Rovers were surrounded by players from both sides in the penalty area, and players near the goal point jumped high and scrambled for the ball.

At this point, you can see how important it is to be a high defender at times, not only to defend the skies of the penalty area, but also to wreak havoc in the opposition box, and Notts County's two starting centre-backs are the kind of high defenders who are a bit of a bully.

Westermann grabbed the first point, but because of the physical contact of the opponent's defender, it was difficult for him to control the exact direction of the ball, so he simply gave up the idea of shaking his head to attack the goal, and the header was rubbed back, and the ball flew quickly to the back of the goal.

Two seconds later, when the fans did not see the truth, the referee's whistle hesitated, but still sounded, and someone in the crowd had already rushed out excitedly, running wildly and celebrating wildly.

The not-so-tall figure belonged to Villa, who had just poked a kick out of the crowd and stabbed Westerman's ball into the back post.

When the referee made an effective action to score, everyone woke up like a dream, and the Notts County players collectively rushed towards Villa, screaming like a group of barbarians rushing out of the Amazon, and in strong visual contrast, the Blackburn players had dull faces and seemed to be a little unable to accept the reality of what was happening in front of them.

Not only the Blackburn players couldn't accept it, but the fans in the stands were also the same, playing for 120 minutes, stubbornly holding on to a draw, and seeing that they were about to enter a penalty shootout in a minute, they were actually scored at this time, and those with poor psychological tolerance couldn't accept it.

David and Loew, who were excited on the sidelines, also hugged tightly, but before the two separated, they were pressed under the players who rushed over, becoming the bottom of the existence, this kind of celebration with Notts County characteristics, always ended with the coach and the chairman both physically and psychologically traumatized, David is pondering whether the club should introduce a strict management system, prohibiting players from celebrating goals in the form of stacking Arhats on the field, even if they want to stack Arhats, they can't press the coach and chairman at the bottom.

This game, which originally seemed to others to be unequal in strength, but in fact it was the opposite, ended unspeakably regrettably, because for neutral fans, they don't know whether it is a lore or a penalty shootout that attracts their attention more, and it is really difficult to choose.

Notts County, the League Two side, has once again entered the eyes of English fans, following the bloodbath of Middlesbrough and further slashing Blackburn, linking two Premier League clubs to become a real dark horse in this season's League Cup.

At the post-match press conference, the losing Souness did not look too down, and all his previous worries disappeared with the end of the game, he knew that the loss was not because of Blackburn's lack of strength, but because Notts County's strange League Two team was too strong, and no one could say that Blackburn was not.

'Notts County are a team that can get a foothold in the Premier League, it's incredible to have a team like that in League Two, maybe they can do wonders in the early cup game because they have the quality.' Souness praised Notts County, and of course that's what he really thought.

Loew, on the other hand, modestly said that Notts County's first priority is promotion from League Two, and as for how far they can go in the cup competition, it will take the help of luck.

Regardless, Notts County's miraculous victory over Blackburn Rovers was a smash in the eyes of English football professionals.

It is not unacceptable for a lower division team to beat a higher team in two cup competitions in England, and such upsets are frequent every season.

But Notts County are no favourites anymore and no one is really looking at them as a low-level team anymore, and whoever thinks that way is a fool.

Who has ever seen a lower-tier team that has been beaten against a Premier League team with all their main players?

Well, if you have to be more serious, there is, then it will add an out-and-out big upset.

But who has ever seen a League Two team that have beaten a Premier League club in two consecutive rounds?

If you're lucky, you won't be able to go against the sky to this extent, right?

At least for now, no one will take Notts County's magical League Two club lightly anymore.

When the squad returned to Nottinghamshire in the evening, the draw for the fourth round of the League Cup was over.

Fortunately, although Notts County's luck is not particularly good, it is enough to relax Notts County, who have met two Premier League teams in a row, because their opponent is League One side, Manchester City.

Of course, the fourth round of the Carabao Cup will be played at the end of November, but for now the focus will be on the league for Notts County.
