Jozy Altidore’s Sunderland got an extra time goal to advance 2-1 over Chelsea in England’s League Cup on Tuesday. Chelsea took the lead from a 46th minute own goal, with Sunderland’s Fabio Borini equalizing in the 88th minute. Ki Sung-Yueng scored Sunderland’s winner in the 118th minute to advance to the semifinals.

“It’s a competition that looks like it is not important,” Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said. “it’s cold, the stadium is not full, you play far from home. But, when you reach the final, you feel it as a nice competition you want to win.”
