Liverpool knocked out Chelsea on penalties to book their place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals as Xabi Alonso and Jordan Henderson tasted defeat on their return to Anfield.

The tie was, inevitably, settled on a shootout after finishing level in normal time when a Morgan Rogers penalty for the visitors was cancelled out by a Cody Gakpo spot-kick at the other end.

In a tense outcome, Valentin Barco hit the woodwork for Chelsea, but Kostas Tsimikas blazed over for Liverpool and former Reds captain Henderson levelled.

Blues keeper Mike Penders then saved from Ryan Gravenberch, but Giorgi Mamardashvili kept out Emmanuel Emegha's effort and, after Joe Gomez had scored, French defender Wesley Fofana skied his spot-kick over to send the Kop wild as the hosts went through.
