Liverpool 5-5 Arsenal, Liverpool beat Arsenal on penalties

Dani Ceballos missed his penalty as Liverpool beat Arsenal in a penalty shoot-out at the end of a 5-5 EFL Cup draw at Anfield.

Shkodran Mustafi's own goal (6') gave Jurgen Klopp's much-changed side the perfect start, but Lucas Torreira levelled (19') before Gabriel Martinelli scored twice (26' & 36') to shock the eight-time League Cup winners.

James Milner reduced the deficit from the spot earlier than the half-time (43'), but it turned into his slack skip that allowed Ainsley Maitland-Niles to re-establish Arsenal's two-goal lead (54') from close range.

HIGHLIGHTS

Liverpool then scored twice in four minutes to stage a brilliant comeback as Oxlade-Chamberlain unleashed a wickedly dipping shot that screamed over Martinez and into the net to make it 4-3 before Curtis Jones drove Liverpool forward and picked out Origi who found the net with a fortuitous drive.

Willock's goal arguably topped the lot though as he advanced forward before launching an unstoppable right-foot shot into the top corner from 30 metres.

Origi sent the game to penalties in stoppage time with a trademark finish from Neco Williams' cross.
