Liverpool 5 -5 Arsenal
by James Nalton
at Anfield

TEENAGE midfielder Curtis Jones fired Liverpool into the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup following a thriller against Arsenal on Wednesday night.

The 18-year-old, raised in the Toxteth area of Liverpool, emerged from the substitutes bench in the second half to replace Naby Keita and stepped into the game with the confidence of an experienced pro.

It was a night to remember in many ways, not least for the number of goals and the numerous swings in momentum.
