Say it out loud – we love EFL League Cup!This was such a sensational night in the Carabao Cup, with dozen wonder goals across the three games, with Liverpool beating Leicester 5-4 on penalties after a sensational return! The Scousers were two goals down after 35 minutes, with 3-1 on the scoreboard, but bounced back to grab another trademark victory at Anfield.The Foxes bit early on with Jamie Vardy’s furious brace in the span of fewer than five minutes. A prodigious striker was lethal for Alisson’s sub Kelleher, who’ll be having nightmares following the Leicester’s cannonade.Jamie Vardy goal ⚽James Maddison releases Vardy who gives Leicester City the lead against Liverpool 💪pic.twitter.com/AXECReJMA6— BirdieFootball (@birdiefootball) December 22, 2021 #LIVLEI #CarabaoCup Liverpool 0-2 Leicester | GOAL!

You were probably thinking of the Red’s sensational comeback in prospect, but James Maddison was having none of it. A versatile AM nailed a belter from mid-range to provide his side with the third goal in less than 35 minutes on the clock.Maddison goal for Leicester against Liverpool pic.twitter.com/eIppzcw3up— Live News (@LiveNewsForAll_) December 22, 2021 Anyhow, you won’t see Liverpool surrender after conceding three. At least not since that notorious night in Istanbul in 2005. The Reds fought back in the middle of the second half. Firminho again provided a brilliant chance for scoring, and unplayable Diogo Jota had no difficulties pouring in a Liverpool’s second for a thrill.Anfield mass was ecstatic, and it seemed like Foxes were caught in a severe trap. And guess what? They were.It was a stoppage-time when Milner sent a long pass on the far side, finding an unmarked Minamino seconds before the final whistle. The Japanese forward was cold-blooded despite the importance and tension, and Klopp was saved at the moment, 3-3, and we were heading to penalties.Minamino what a goal 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 pic.twitter.com/yOES5zXQOa— kabir (@_kabir7) December 22, 2021 However, the same guy, Minamino, missed the decisive penalty for the win, but his mistake was nulled thanks to two of Leicester’s misses. Jota then stepped up and banged it for another superimportant win and a comeback so characteristic for the Scousers.Diogo Jota places his spot-kick into the bottom corner and Liverpool beat Leicester 5-4 on penalties to advance to the semi finals #CarabaoCup #LIVLEI pic.twitter.com/puUfeOyUR0— Football24/7 (@foet247europa) December 22, 2021 Meanwhile, Tottenham are enjoying much better days as 2021 is reaching its end. Antonio Conte’s outfit wasn’t gambling with its pride and the lineup, facing the Hammers with almost the best possible lineup.And it paid off around a half an hour mark, once Hojbjerg and Bergwijn exchanged passed before the latter placed it in the net. The visitors struck back immediately through clever Bowen, but the stalemate didn’t last for long. In a replica of the opener, Bergwijn assisted Moura and two minutes after the equaliser, the Spurs were one up once again.Tottenham 2-1 West Ham | GOAL!

They will face Liverpool in the semifinals, while Arsenal and Chelsea will decide on the other finalist.EFL CUP – 1/4 FINALSArsenal – Sunderland 5-1 (2-1)/Nketiah 17, 49, 58, Pepe 27, Patino 90+5 – Broadhead 31/Brentford – Chelsea 0-2 (0-0)/Jansson 80 og, Jorginho 85/Tottenham – West Ham United 2-1 (2-1)/Bergwijn 29, Moura 34 – Bowen 32/Liverpool – Leicester City 5-4 pen (3-3, 1-3)/Oxlade-Chamberlain 19, Jota 69, Minamino 90+5 – Vardy 9, 13, Maddison 33/
