League Cup: Arsenal edges past Liverpool on penalties - Football News - Sportstar
The HinduArsenal squeezed past Liverpool 5-4 on penalties to advance to the League Cup quarter-finals on Thursday after a goalless 90 minutes. With the Premier League champion making several changes to the team that beat Arsenal in the league 3-1 on Monday and its opponent also rotating, it was always unlikely to be a high-class encounter. Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno made two consecutive saves to stop Jota and Marko Grujic and the visitor responded with a chance of its own as Rob Holding's header was punched away by Adrian in the 70th minute. “The club always gave me the feeling I was the number one, I am the number one and will be the number one,” Leno, who kept a clean sheet and saved two penalties in Thursday's League Cup victory over Liverpool, told Sky Sports.
