Liverpool beat Chelsea 6-5 on penalties to book a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on a dramatic night at Anfield.

The teams had exchanged goals from the penalty spot in regulation time, with Morgan Rogers’ first goal canceled out by Cody Gakpo’s shot from the penalty spot shortly after in the final five minutes of the first half as the score finished 1-1 in regulation time, as reported by liverpoolfc.com.
