Jurgen Klopp's men strolled into the next round of the EFL Cup with a trouncing of Championship side Burton Albion on Tuesday night

Substitute Daniel Sturridge scored twice, while Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino were also on the scoresheet as Liverpool battered Burton Albion 5-0 to reach the League Cup third round on Tuesday.

Jurgen Klopp's side, finalists in the competition last season, slumped to a disappointing 2-0 Premier League loss at Burnley on Saturday but an upset was never on the cards at the Pirelli Stadium.

Origi put Liverpool ahead after just 14 minutes, tapping in from close range after Sadio Mane's trickery created a simple finish for the striker.
