## Summary

Liverpool advanced to the League Cup quarter-finals after beating Chelsea on penalties, extending a run of shootout victories over them. The result matters for Liverpool’s cup campaign and leaves questions over Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso’s team selection and his handling of young forward Estêvão.

The coaches made 11 changes between them, and the match ended with few chances before Liverpool won the shootout. Chelsea’s Valentín Barco, Emanuel Emegha and Wesley Fofana missed their penalties; Fofana sent his effort wide. Liverpool will host Bournemouth in the quarter-final, a tie that reunites the Cherries with former manager Andoni Iraola. Alonso said the competition was probably his side’s least important, while Estêvão remained unused despite calls from Chelsea fans.
