Szoboszlai stunner helps Liverpool knock out Spurs

Liverpool secured a significant victory by knocking out Tottenham Hotspur from the Carabao Cup, despite facing a largely second-string team. The match saw Liverpool score their first goal of the season, despite Tottenham failing to find the net in four league games. Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai all contributed to the goal glut, with Szoboszlai scoring the decisive moment in injury time.

Both managers opted to make heavy changes to their squads, with Liverpool's Andoni Iraola making 10 substitutions and Spurs' Roberto de Zerbi making eight. Only Ronald Araujo and Joe Gomez retained their positions for Liverpool, while De Zerbi saw Ronald Araujo back on the bench for Spurs, who had lost their previous match to Charlton.

Liverpool broke the deadlock in the 21st minute when Mac Allister side-footed the ball into the top corner. Tottenham's Mohammed Kudus missed a chance to equalize shortly after halftime, but Liverpool extended their lead through Gakpo. Robertson, making a notable return for Liverpool, came on to a standing ovation, but Tottenham managed to score a consolation goal after the break, only for Mamardashvili to make a crucial save.

Szoboszlai sealed the win with a thunderous strike from 25 yards out, ensuring Liverpool's progression to the fourth round.
