Liverpool beat Chelsea in League Cup shoot-out, Man City survive scare

LONDON, United Kingdom Liverpool beat Chelsea in a dramatic penalty shootout to reach the League Cup quarter-finals, while holders Manchester City survived a scare against Brighton on Wednesday.

In a clash between childhood friends Andoni Iraola and Xabi Alonso, it was the Liverpool manager who took the bragging rights in the last-16 tie at Anfield.

A 1-1 draw in normal time set the stage for the shoot-out as Chelsea’s Morgan Rogers netted from the spot, only for Cody Gakpo to equalise with a penalty of his own just before half-time.
