EXETER SECURE DREAM TIE WITH REDS

Exeter City's reward for knocking Yeovil Town out of the Carling Cup is a mouthwatering second round home tie with Premiership giants Liverpool.

Goals from Guilleum Bauza and Chris Shepherd secured the Grecians a 2-0 victory over the Glovers to set up for their fixture with the Reds.

It was the first time that Exeter had reached the second round since 1993 and the tie represents another milestone in the progress that they have made under the reign of manager Paul Tisdale.

The Grecians have played Liverpool three times in the competition previously, once in the 1979-80 season and twice in the 1981-82 campaign with the Reds winning on each of those occasions.
