Premier League giants clash in third round

Liverpool cruised into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield on Tuesday. The Reds were looking to build on a stuttering start to life under Andoni Iraola, which has seen some unconvincing performances and dodgy draws, but a rotated side, complete with substitute cameos from the first-team stars, was enough to see off Roberto De Zerbi’s visitors.

Alexis Mac Allister stroked home coolly to open the scoring, before Cody Gakpo lasered in a second in the second period to set the hosts on their way. Conor Gallagher made things intertesting going into the final 10 minutes, bundling home from a corner that Giorgi Mamardashvili flapped at. The Georgian goalkeeper made a blinding save to deny Omar Marmoush to keep the home side ahead late on.

Dominik Szoboszlai stepped off the bench in the lashing rain on Merseyside to put the result beyond all doubt, with the Hungary international flashing home a stunning half-volley to send Liverpool into the fourth round.
