Liverpool 3-1 Leicester: Dominik Szoboszlai scores stunner in Liverpool win

Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning second-half strike helped Liverpool come from behind to beat Leicester City in the Carabao Cup third round.

Liverpool pushed hard for a leveller, with youngsters Harvey Elliott and Ben Doak rattling the woodwork and Jarell Quansah thwarted by Jakub Stolarczyk.

Cody Gakpo was the man who got the Reds’ equaliser with a well-taken finish just after half-time, having earlier been denied by Conor Coady’s goalline clearance.

It was then the Dutch forward’s turn to strike the woodwork, as his header hit the bar following good build-up play from Doak and Elliott.

Szoboszlai edged Liverpool ahead when, moments after being introduced as a second-half substitute, he arrowed an unstoppable shot in off the crossbar.

Leicester looked to respond as they sought a first victory at Anfield since 2000, but incessant pressure from the hosts eventually told with a third goal.

A nonchalant flick from Diogo Jota put the result beyond doubt as the 2022 winners reached the fourth round.
