Match report: Reds beat Arsenal on pens after 10-goal cup thriller

Liverpool reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals via a penalty shootout after a thrilling clash with Arsenal ended 5-5 at Anfield on Wednesday night.

A basketball-style first half saw the Reds go ahead via a Shkodran Mustafi own goal, only for Lucas Torreira to level before Gabriel Martinelli bagged twice to put the Gunners clear.

James Milner ensured the tie was still alive with a penalty ahead of the interval – but then, nine minutes into the second period, had a short back-pass punished by Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

Emphatic strikes at the Kop end from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Divock Origi in the space of four minutes got Jürgen Klopp’s side on terms again.
