Liverpool has advanced to the EFL Cup semi-finals after a 5-4 penalty shootout victory over Leicester City.
After normal time, it was 3-3, with Minamino scoring a stoppage-time equalizer for the Reds to force a shootout.
Kelleher saved Thomas’ strike to give the hosts the lead, but Minamino had a chance to win it but missed the crossbar.
Jota beat Schmeichel to win it for Liverpool after Bertrand’s shot was stopped.
What an unbelievable Anfield atmosphere tonight 🔥
