Gary Lineker reacts to Liverpool’s League Cup victory against Arsenal

Liverpool booked their place in the quarter-finals of the League Cup at the expense of Arsenal following a pulsating clash at Anfield that ended 5-5.

Daniel Ceballos’ miss during the penalties ensured the hosts got the victory in the end despite being two goals down at two separate points in the game.

Shkodran Mustafi’s own goal from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s cross while under pressure from Rhian Brewster put Liverpool in the lead six minutes into the game, but Arsenal fought back, with goals from Lucas Torreira and Gabriel Martinelli putting them 3-1 up 30 minutes later.
