The Carabao Cup holders are through to the quarter-finals
Liverpool are through to the Carabao Cup quarter-final thanks to an inspired display from Cody Gakpo in a 3-2 win over Brighton and Hove Albion as Arne Slot was rewarded for making wholesale changes.
Following an even first-half, the Reds to broke the deadlock within a minute of the restart as the aforementioned Dutchman netted a stunning curling strike before doubling his tally just after the hour mark after Vítezslav Jaros was called into action to make a superb save from Simon Adingra and Evan Ferguson spurned a decent chance.
However, a lapse in concentration from Jarell Quansah and subsequent mistake from Jaros allowed Simon Adingra to reduce the deficit and Luis Diaz’s goal proved to be the winner as Tariq Lamptey’s deflected effort set up a nervy finish which the visitors came through safely.
