EFL Cup: Liverpool beat Leeds to reach semi-finals, Hull need penalties to down Newcastle

Liverpool prodigy Ben Woodburn enhanced his burgeoning reputation by becoming the club's youngest ever goalscorer in the 2-0 EFL Cup quarter-final win over Leeds.

The academy graduate, at 17 years and 45 days, beat Michael Owen's record by 98 days to write his name into Anfield history books with an emphatic 81st-minute finish.

Divock Origi scored five minutes before having previously laboured against an industrious Leeds side who took the game to their hosts.

With playmaker Philippe Coutinho ruled out for at least five weeks with ankle ligament damage and striker Daniel Sturridge missing again with a calf injury, Woodburn - and Origi with a second goal in as many matches - offered a welcome positive after a difficult few days for the Reds.
