WHAT HAPPENED
We booked our place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup after a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory at Anfield on Thursday night.
Bernd Leno – who made a series of fine stops during normal time – pulled off two saves in the shoot-out, before Joe Willock kept his nerve to send us through.
Just three days on from Monday’s Premier League clash at Anfield, Mikel Arteta made eight changes to his side for this clash and we made a confident start.
There were little more than seven minutes on the clock when we carved out our best opportunity of the opening period as Granit Xhaka’s superb pass set Nicolas Pepe free down the left.
