Liverpool 5-5 Arsenal with Liverpool winning 5-4 on penalties 
Even with both playing with weakened teams to rest players for the Saturday PL match, it was full of goals. 10 goals at Anfield, 5-5! It was a great advert for English teams even if it was the EFL Cup. Liverpool keep on entertaining spectators. How did Liverpool get beaten at the near post when Arsenal took the lead 1-2? And then the goal scored to go 1-3 up it was a great goal but they went straight through the Liverpool defence that should not be happening.
On 54 minutes the goal that put Arsenal 2-4 up with all those defensive howlers, it was not good from Liverpool but that screamer from Oxlade-Chamberlain on 57 minutes more than made up for it to make the score 3-4. The Origi turn and shoot goal was instinctive, well done to him and also to Willock for that absolutely stunning strike because it even had Klopp clapping in admiration with Liverpool 4-5 down. How on earth did Origi manage to get in that position and still score? Great goal. Fantastic match considering two weakened teams were playing.
Chelsea 1-2 Manchester United
Chelsea are playing good football but the result did not go their way tonight. What a wonderful goal by Batshuayi, the way he speeded up to get past three players including Maguire surrounding him with a fourth player nearly catching up was excellent as much as it was embarrassing. Chelsea have recovered under Lampard but Manchester United have also played well.
Marcus Rashford having to take another penalty scoring this time and having to keep his nerves under control. And I have to say what a freekick that was. The ball dipped so sharply, up and down in the back of the net. It really was Cristiano Ronaldo like. Both teams went for it, both wanted the win and put out strong enough teams to win the game but Manchester United fielded a near full usual starting 11. Chelsea did bring Abrahams and Mount on as substitutes but it was too late for them to maximise their impact.
A great evening of games.
