A screamer from Dominik Szoboszlai helped Liverpool to a 3-1 win over Tottenham, while Arsenal got past Ipswich 4-2 to reach the next round of the Carabao Cup.
Spurs got back into the game after Conor Gallagher's back-post header and threatened to score an equaliser before Szoboszlai's stunner to wrap things up. Meanwhile, 16-year-old Max Dowman scored a brace for the Gunners -- with his first coming just seven minutes into the game.
