Liverpool beat Chelsea in League Cup shoot-out, Man City survive scare
Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana missed a crucial spot kick as Man City were pushed to the brink by Brighton in a 2-2 draw before winning on penalties.
Liverpool advanced to the League Cup quarter-finals after defeating Chelsea in a thrilling penalty shoot-out at Anfield. The match, which ended 1-1 in normal time, saw Chelsea's Morgan Rogers score the opening penalty, while Liverpool's Cody Gakpo equalized just before halftime. Despite Valentin Barco's miss, Kostas Tsimikas's error secured Liverpool's progression.
Manager Andoni Iraola, who previously lost to Liverpool in Anfield in 2024 and 2025, faced his third defeat at the venue. Chelsea's Enzo Maresca, who made nine changes ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa, saw his side survive a scare against Brighton and advance to the next round following a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium and victory on penalties.
