Liverpool player ratings vs Leicester City: Dutch duo Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo get Reds going before Dominik Szoboszlai stunner seals Carabao Cup comeback
The Netherlands internationals linked up to help overturn an early deficit against the Championship leaders at Anfield
Ryan Gravenberch and his international team-mate Cody Gakpo combined for a crucial Liverpool goal as the Reds came from behind to beat Leicester CIty in the Carabao Cup third round. Gakpo netted the equaliser early in the second half, while a thunderous strike from Dominik Szoboszlai, and a deft flick Diogo Jota carried the Reds to an ultimately comfortable 3-1 win.
Liverpool continued their recent trend of conceding early, as Kasey McAteer finished past Caoimhin Kelleher after a well-worked counter in the third minute. The Reds' response was a strong, though, as Ben Doak hit the woodwork, Gakpo had an effort smartly denied by Jakub Stolarczyk, Jota squandered a chance from two yards out with the goal gaping and Conor Coady cleared a Gakpo header off the line.
The Reds eventually equalised, with Gravenberch setting up Gakpo, who pivoted and fired home the leveller shortly after half-time. Gakpo should have added a second a few minutes later, but his lofted header hit the bar.
Szoboszlai came off the bench to eventually turn the tie around, lashing a shot in off the bar from 25 yards out. And Jota sealed things, directing Jarell Quansah's cross into the far corner with a clever backheel.
