Despite the equalizer from Bournemouth, it was pretty smooth sailing for Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. Jürgen Klopp put out a strong starting XI to get the job done and in the end, his team did it in style scoring a winner that rightly stole the headlines.
With strong winds and a torrential deluge, Liverpool didn’t just have to fight Bournemouth but the elements as well at times. The cold rainy evening made it the quintessential English cup tie, which will have been a first for some of the club’s new signings including Dominik Szoboszlai. But in the end, Liverpool’s stars lived up to the billing, the end result was never really in doubt. The Reds continued to threaten when going forward and always looked like they might score.
