ReutersArsenal edge past Liverpool on penalties in League Cup
Arsenal squeezed past Liverpool 5-4 on penalties to advance to the League Cup quarter-finals on Thursday after a goalless 90 minutes. With the Premier League champions making several changes to the team that beat Arsenal in the league 3-1 on Monday and their opponents also rotating, it was always unlikely to be a high-class encounter. Liverpool had the better chances and should have been awarded a 44th-minute penalty when Diogo Jota was brought down in the box.
