Reds beat Arsenal in 10-goal thriller
    2019-11-01  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

LIVERPOOL reached the League Cup quarterfinals in thrilling style as its incredible 5-5 draw against Arsenal was followed by a 5-4 penalty shootout triumph, while Manchester United won 2-1 at Chelsea on Wednesday.

Both Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Arsenal boss Unai Emery made 11 changes for the fourth round tie, but the understudies served up one of the most entertaining games of the season at Anfield as the Gunners squandered multiple leads.

In the shootout, Dani Ceballos’ penalty was saved by 20-year-old Irish keeper Caoimhin Kelleher before Liverpool-born 18-year-old Curtis Jones converted the winning kick.

Liverpool has won the League Cup a record eight times and the Reds remain on course to lift the trophy for the first time since 2012.

After Granit Xhaka’s astonishing outburst at Arsenal fans during Sunday’s traumatic Premier League draw with Crystal Palace, this was another body blow for Arsenal, which lost despite leading 3-1, 4-2 and then 5-4 with seconds to go.

“A crazy match. At the end we were winning until the last action. Penalties are 50-50 and we lost. We are sad but we deserve more,” Emery said.

With an average age of 23 years and 122 days, it was Liverpool’s youngest starting eleven in any competition since January 2017 as teenagers Neco Williams, Harvey Elliott, Rhian Brewster and Sepp Van Den Berg all featured.

It was only the second time Liverpool has conceded five goals in a home match in the last 66 years.

At Stamford Bridge, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was rewarded for naming a strong team as United beat Chelsea to continue its recent revival.

Solskjaer made just four changes, while Chelsea boss Frank Lampard made six and it was five-time League Cup winner United that came out on top as the side enjoyed a third successive victory. Aston Villa moved into the last eight with a 2-1 win Wolves.(SD-Agencies)
