Cody Gakpo’s brace and a late goal from Luis Diaz secured a 3-2 victory for Liverpool over Brighton, allowing them to progress to the EFL Cup quarter-finals.

The win ensured Liverpool would not become the fourth consecutive holders to exit the competition in the fourth round.

The match saw Liverpool rely heavily on goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros, who made a crucial save to deny Simon Adingra early on.

Gakpo then opened the scoring with a powerful strike early in the second half.

Gakpo doubled his tally in the 63rd minute, capitalizing on a missed opportunity from Dominik Szoboszlai.

However, Brighton fought back, with Adingra scoring in the 81st minute to reduce the deficit.

Diaz then restored Liverpool’s two-goal lead shortly after, but Tariq Lamptey’s deflected goal made it 3-2 to set up a tense finish to the game.

Despite the late scare, Liverpool held on for the victory, securing their place in the last eight of the tournament.
