A depleted Liverpool have advanced to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, beating Leicester City in a penalty shootout at Anfield.
In a thriller, a weakened Liverpool side recovered from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits against Leicester City with Takumi Minamino levelling to make it 3-3 deep into stoppage time.
Minamino then spurned a chance to send Liverpool through in the ensuing penalty shoot-out as he blazed his effort over the bar. But Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher then saved Ryan Bertrand's effort, his second save of the shoot-out, before Diogo Jota converted to win it for Liverpool.
Elsewhere, a much-changed Chelsea side featuring several academy players beat Brentford 2-0 to reach the League Cup semi-finals where they were joined by Tottenham Hotspur.
An own goal 10 minutes from time by Pontus Jansson broke the deadlock at Brentford before a Jorginho penalty sealed victory for Thomas Tuchel's side.
In the night's other London derby at Tottenham, goals by Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura edged Antonio Conte's side past West Ham with a 2-1 win.
Arsenal beat third-tier Sunderland on Wednesday (NZ time).
