Liverpool embarrassed at home, crash out of the League Cup 🏴 | OneFootball

Five more games determined the teams advancing to the quarter-finals of the English League Cup this Wednesday (29).

Arsenal did their "homework" and defeated Brighton 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, with goals from Nwaneri and Saka - both in the second half.

Meanwhile, Manchester City and Chelsea provided the day's "dose of excitement." 

The Blues, for example, opened 3-0 - with goals from Andrey Santos and Estevão, as well as Tyrique George, all in the first half - but saw Wolverhampton close in during the second half with Arokodare and Wolfe.

With one player down, Chelsea still scored a fourth with Gittens, but saw Wolfe score another and "ignite" the final minutes.

The Citizens, on the other hand, slipped at the start of the game and watched Gonçalo Franco open the scoring for Swansea. However, Doku - at the end of the first half - and Marmoush and Cherki, in the final minutes, secured the comeback and the qualification for the Manchester team.

At the legendary Anfield, a stage of many glories, Liverpool ended up humiliated by Crystal Palace with a 3-0 defeat, with two goals from Sarr at the end of the first half, and Pino in the final minutes.  

Finally, at home, Newcastle defeated Tottenham 2-0, with goals from Schar in the first half and Woltemade in the second half.
