We got a big drama tonight (Wednesday) in the quarter-finals of the English League Cup. Liverpool were on the safe path to relegation against Leicester, but equalized in extra time and eventually won 3: 4 in a penalty shootout and advanced to the semi-finals. Chelsea and Tottenham also recorded victories and qualified for the last four stages of the factory.

Liverpool – Leicester 4: 5 on penalties (3: 3 in 90 minutes)

What an amazing battle. The Foxes were within touching distance of the next stage in front of Jürgen Klopp’s bunch who came up with a very lacking lineup. Jamie Vardy scored a great double, scoring in the ninth and 13th minutes, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain managed to shrink six minutes later, but James Madison returned the double advantage to the Blues in the 33rd minute. Diego Diota, who came on as a substitute at the start of the second half, managed to shrink in the 68th minute. Everything was ready for Liverpool’s dismissal, but then came Takumi Minamino who equalized in the 95th minute and sent the game to the penalty spot. There, the Reds scored 3: 4 with only Minamino missing, while Jota scored the decisive penalty.

Brentford – Chelsea 2: 0

Despite the bad period in the league in which they have not won two games already, Thomas Tuchel’s team did the job on the way to the semi-finals. On the other hand, the host who is in 12th place in the Premier League has not managed to surprise the European champion and she will continue to concentrate from now on only on her tasks in the league. After 80 goalless minutes, Pontus Jansson scored his goal and gave Chelsea the lead. Five minutes passed and Giorgini translated a successful penalty for a second goal that sealed the game.

Tottenham – West Ham 1: 2

Antonio Conte’s side, who are battling for a place in the top five in the Premier League and are two points behind West Ham who are there, have meanwhile managed to beat them in one challenge. Four minutes during the first half yielded all the goals and provided a crazy pace: Stephen Brahwin set up the Roosters’ lead (29), Jarrod Bowen equalized immediately (32) but one minute passed and Lucas More returned the lead to Tottenham and set up the game as well.
