Holders Liverpool progressed to the fourth round of the EFL Cup the hard way by overcoming Derby County in a penalty shootout.
Caoimhin Kelleher, who scored the decisive spot kick in last season's final against Chelsea, was the hero for the Reds again, saving three penalties before Harvey Elliott scored to to send his side through to the fourth round.
Liverpool dominated during regular time, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain going close on three occasions and substitute Elliott denied by a fine save from Joe Wildsmith late on. However, the visitors posed a threat on the counter-attack and Max Bird watched his lashed effort fly wide of the far post in the 51st minute, moments before Oxlade-Chamberlain's deflected shot was stopped well.
