Arsenal, who changed their entire side from the 11 that beat Everton 5-2 in the Premier League last weekend, were five minutes away from losing to second-tier Norwich City at the Emirates.
But England Under-19 striker Eddie Nketiah equalised for the Gunners just 15 seconds after coming off the bench to send the game into extra-time at 1-1 with his first senior goal after Josh Murphy's chip had given the visitors the lead.
Nketiah ensured Arsene Wenger's men would be in the quarterfinal draw when he headed home the winner.
Premier League basement club Crystal Palace were knocked out after suffering a 4-1 loss away to Bristol City despite taking the lead at Ashton Gate.
Bakary Sako put the Eagles ahead in the 21st minute. But second-tier Bristol City hit back through goals from Matt Taylor, Milan Djuric, Joe Bryan and Callum O'Dowda.
Managers at both ends of the Premier League table often regard the League Cup as an inconvenience and Palace's latest loss was not so surprising given Roy Hodgson, the former England boss, had made 10 changes to the London club's line-up.
Elsewhere Jesse Lingard scored twice as League Cup holders Manchester United saw off Premier League rivals Swansea 2-0, a result that saw Jose Mourinho's men bounce back from a shock league defeat by Huddersfield.
Bournemouth, fresh from just their second Premier League win of the season last weekend, enjoyed a 3-1 victory at home to Middlesbrough.
Jack Simpson put the Cherries ahead with a goal on debut before Marcus Tavernier equalised for Boro.
But Eddie Howe's men restored their lead through Callum Wilson's 75th-minute penalty before Benik Afobe's late goal put the result beyond doubt.
Leicester had to come from a goal down to beat another Championship club Leeds United 3-1.
The Foxes, without a manager after sacking Craig Shakespeare, fell behind at home to a 26th-minute goal from Pablo Hernandez.
But they needed just four more minutes to be back on level terms, Nigeria's Kelechi Iheanacho scoring the equaliser. © AFP
