Meeting Leicester City is not expected to be an easy match for Liverpool in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
After the poor 2022/23 season, Liverpool went through a tumultuous summer and gradually transformed.
The result is a Liverpool team that is closely following Man City in the Premier League championship race this season. The Kop is on a streak of 5 consecutive winning matches to rise to 2nd place with 16 points, only 2 points behind top team Man City.
Temporarily putting aside the Premier League, Liverpool must face Leicester City, a team that is playing very impressively in the Championship, in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
In the 3rd minute, Liverpool was doused with cold water when Kasey McAteer coolly scored to open the score from a quick counter-аttаck.
The loss caused The Kop to face many difficulties and play like a chicken with its hair tied.
It wasn’t until the 48th minute that Liverpool equalized thanks to Cody Gakpo.
In the 70th minute, substitute Dominik Szoboszlai fired a shot to increase the score to 2-1.
And in the final minute of play, Diogo Jota completed Liverpool’s comeback with a skillful backheel to seal the score 3-1.
In the end, Liverpool came back to defeat Leicester City with a score of 3-1.
The victory helps Coach Klopp and his team maintain their high form and earn them a ticket to the fourth round of the League Cup this season. This round, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all won, but Man City unexpectedly lost to Newcastle United.
