MADRID, 22 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Liverpool reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, the League Cup in England, on Wednesday after eliminating Leicester City on penalties (3-3 and 5-4), while Tottenham and Chelsea also they met the predictions to get into the top four of the ‘K.O’ competition.
All three teams join Arsenal, who got the ticket a day earlier, after having worked up a lot of sweat to get it. Especially Liverpool, who came to lose 0-2 at 13 minutes. A double by Jamie Vardy knocked out the ‘red’ box, which woke up by closing the gap in the Oxlade-Chamberlain boots.
However, Brendan Rodgers’ team scored again before the break with a shot from Maddison. The 1-3 made Jurgen Klopp’s men wake up definitively, who forced the penalty shoot-out with a goal from Minamino in the 95th minute. In shooting, Liverpool took the victory 5-4 after the failures of Thomas and Bertrand at Leicester.
In addition, Chelsea also struggled to get off Brentford (0-2) and had to wait until the final ten minutes. Jansson, at his own goal, and Jorginho -from a penalty- gave the pass to the ‘blues’, who this Wednesday had the Spanish Saúl Ñíguez 90 minutes.
In the same way as Tottenham, which was more fortunate in the exchange of blows around the half hour of the game. Antonio Conte’s men will not miss the ‘semis’ thanks to goals from Bergwijn and Lucas Moura, both in the first half, in just five minutes.
