Leicester oust Liverpool in Carabao Cup while Tottenham beat Barnsley

Liverpool crashed out of the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle as goals from Shinji Okazaki and Islam Slimani put Leicester City through 2-0 on Tuesday.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was in the Liverpool starting XI, as was Philippe Coutrinho, who danced through Leicester defenders and forced a diving save from Foxes keeper Ben Hamer.

Liverpool's Andrew Robertson then saw his cross run agonisingly through the six-yard box, but it was the hosts who took control in the second half.

Okazaki put Leicester ahead in the 65th minute following a corner when Vicente Iborra headed the ball down to the Japan international ,and his shot took a deflection off Robertson before finding the net.
