  • Liverpool secured a 2-1 victory over Southampton in the Carabao Cup, with Hugo Ekitike scoring the winning goal.
  • Ekitike was sent off after receiving two yellow cards: one for punching the ball away and another for removing his shirt during his goal celebration.
  • The dismissal means Ekitike will be suspended for Liverpool's upcoming Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
  • Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticised Ekitike's actions as "needless" and "stupid", while Ekitike later apologised on Instagram, stating emotion got the better of him.
  • Other notable events included Alexander Isak scoring Liverpool's first goal and 18-year-old debutant Giovanni Leoni being stretchered off with a serious knee injury.
