How It Happened

  1. FT

    Liverpool won a dramatic penalty shootout 6-5 after a 1-1 draw at Anfield, with Rogers' first-half penalty cancelled out by Gakpo's spot-kick just before the break. Extra time couldn't separate the sides, setting up a nerve-shredding shootout in which Barco and Tsimikas both missed before Gravenberch and Emegha also failed from the spot. It eventually fell to Gomez to send Liverpool through after Fofana's effort went too high, capping a tense Carabao Cup tie decided only in sudden death.

  2. Full time · 1-1
  3. 94'

    The second half ended with the sides still deadlocked at 1-1, meaning extra time and then penalties were needed to separate Liverpool and Chelsea after a tight finish. The closing minutes were scrappy rather than clear-cut, with free-kicks conceded by Jacquet, Lavia and Rogers around the box, and little changing in the overall stats as both teams held their nerve. With normal time unable to find a winner, the tie has now gone to a penalty shootout.

  4. 94'

    Straight into the shootout after 120 goalless minutes beyond the original 1-1. Rogers and Gakpo both converted to keep things level, Lavia and Wirtz then did the same, before the drama turned - Barco struck the post for Chelsea and Tsimikas blazed over for Liverpool, so the shootout remains finely poised.

    Both sides have pushed for a winner in this final stretch at Anfield. Palestra forced a smart save from Mamardashvili and Colwill headed just wide from a corner, before Liverpool responded through Wirtz and Barcola, who both saw efforts blocked in the box. Late changes from Mac Allister and Isak have added fresh legs as Liverpool chase a winner, with the sides still level at 1-1 and barely anything separating them in the stats.

    Chelsea have made three changes and continue to shade the stats slightly, edging ahead in corners and fouls won since the last update, though the score stays at 1-1. Lavia's booking for a foul on Ngumoha summed up a scrappy spell, while Acheampong fired wide from Neto's cross and Rogers was penalised for a foul on Gomez. The closing stages are shaping up as a tense, even battle with a corner for Chelsea the latest chance to threaten.

    Both sides have had joy going forward since the hour mark, with the game stretching out at 1-1. Liverpool made a double change, bringing on Wirtz and Barcola, and the latter forced another save out of Penders, while Araujo also headed straight at the Chelsea keeper. Chelsea have had their moments too, with Rogers seeing a shot blocked, but neither side has been able to find a breakthrough as fouls and corners continue to mount for Liverpool.

    Chelsea have come out firing after the break and now have the upper hand in possession and shots. Mamardashvili has been key for Liverpool, saving well from Rogers and Neto, while Acheampong's yellow card for a foul on Ngumoha added to the second-half ill-discipline. Gusto has twice been caught offside as Chelsea push for a second, with Rogers also seeing an effort blocked, but the score remains locked at 1-1.

    Not much has changed early in the second half, with the score and stats almost identical to how they stood at the break. Liverpool went in level at 1-1 despite finishing the first half strongly, and so far there have been no fresh chances to speak of since the restart.

    A frantic end to the first half sees it finish 1-1. Rogers had put Chelsea ahead from the spot against the run of play, only for Gakpo to level with another penalty moments later. Liverpool finished the half on top, forcing a save from Penders and a corner that led to an Araujo header over, while Chelsea's Lacroix had to be replaced by Colwill through injury in stoppage time. Liverpool lead on shots, corners and attempts on target as the sides head in level.

    Liverpool are level almost immediately! Fofana handles in the box moments after conceding the corner, and Gakpo steps up to fire home the resulting penalty, making it 1-1 just before the break.

    Gravenberch gives away a penalty for a foul on Caicedo, and Morgan Rogers makes no mistake from the spot to send Chelsea ahead against the run of play at Anfield. Liverpool had enjoyed more of the ball, but it's Chelsea who lead 1-0 heading towards half-time.

    Still 0-0 and chances remain at a premium, though Chelsea's Caicedo did fire the game's first effort wide from outside the box. Liverpool continue to dominate territory, holding nearly 60% possession and picking up another corner, while McConnell has joined Koumas in the book after a handball. The game remains niggly with fouls mounting on both sides, but neither keeper has had to make a save yet.

    Still goalless and chances remain scarce, but the game has grown scrappier with Tsimikas picking up a couple of free kicks against him for fouls on Gusto and Neto. Liverpool still edge possession, now won a corner from a Caicedo block, while Koumas remains on a yellow card after his early booking. Chelsea are starting to see a bit more of the ball than earlier but still haven't registered a shot.

    A quiet start at Anfield with neither side testing the goalkeepers yet. Liverpool have had the better of the ball, dominating possession early on, and won a free-kick on the left when Ngumoha was fouled by Pedro Neto. Chelsea are yet to create anything of note, with the game still goalless and shot-free for both sides.
