Liverpool are through to the next round of the Carabao Cup thanks to Hugo Ekitiké, but they had to see out the end of the game without their match-winner after two unnecessary yellow cards.
Alexander Isak got the starting nod and scored his first Liverpool goal to put the Reds in front against Southampton at Anfield. The Reds pressed well to force the opposition into a costly turnover as Federico Chiesa found the Swede with the latter beating Alex McCarthy. The goal wound up being one of his final actions given Isak was removed at the start of the second half for Ekitiké.
