Liverpool reached the last eight of the 2019 Carabao Cup after beating Arsenal 5-4 on penalties following a thrilling 5-5 draw in normal time at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Joe Willock's 70th-minute stunner looked like giving Arsenal the win, but Divock Origi's equaliser in the 94th minute made sure penalties were needed.
Caoimhin Kelleher saved from Dani Ceballos in the shoot-out, before 18-year-old midfielder Curtis Jones clipped in the winner off the inside of the post.
Shkodran Mustafi's own goal put Liverpool 1-0 up early, but Lucas Torreira equalised before Gabriel Martinelli struck a brace for the visitors. A fifth goal was scored before the break when Harvey Elliott was tripped in the box by Gabriel and James Milner dispatched the penalty for 3-2.
Arsenal added to the score early in the second half through Ainsley-Maitland-Niles, before former Gunner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Divock Origi struck back spectacularly for Liverpool. Their wonder strikes were bettered by Willock's long-range effort which looked like giving Arsenal a first win at Anfield in seven years, before Origi changed the script.
What's Next?
Liverpool are away to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday, while Arsenal host Wolverhampton Wanderers later the same day.
