EFL @ Carabao Cup : LEICESTER outkan LIVERPOOL | STOKE CITY out

The EFL Cup, currently known as the Carabao Cup for sponsorship reasons, is an annual knockout football competition in men's domestic English football. 

Chelsea's youngsters played their part in a 5-1 win over Nottingham Forest

Two goals for Calvert Lewin and one for his replacement, Oumar Niasse.

MAN UNITED juara EFL Cup 2017

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's late winner secured the EFL Cup and gave Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho his first success since his summer appointment, as brave Southampton were beaten at Wembley.

Southampton were the better side for most of this final but were left heartbroken by a controversial offside decision - and the inspiration provided by the 35-year-old Swede as he took his tally to 26 goals this season.

Saints' striker Manolo Gabbiadini saw a goal contentiously ruled out before United took an undeserved two-goal lead through Ibrahimovic's superb 19th minute free-kick and Jesse Lingard's measured finish seven minutes before the interval.

Southampton, as their performance merited, were on terms with two predatory strikes from Gabbiadini either side of half-time.

Oriel Romeu hit the woodwork before Ibrahimovic stole in on Ander Herrera's cross three minutes from time to give United a victory that looked beyond them for long spells.

Liverpool out of EFL Cup

LIVERPOOL: Jurgen Klopp believes refereeing decisions have not been going in Liverpool's favour in recent weeks after his side crashed out of the EFL Cup following a 1-0 loss to Southampton on Wednesday night.

- Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has told Sky Sports that when Daniel Sturridge fails to score the team is "basically down to 10 men."

SOUTHAMPTON: Southampton boss Claude Puel feels his side deserved their place in the EFL Cup final.

EFL Cup semi-final: Nathan Redmond gives Saints first-leg advantage

Southampton 1 - 0 Liverpool (Nathan Redmond, 20 min)

This was about Redmond and not the Red Men - or rather the 

‘toxic thunder’ men as Liverpool’s lurid third kit is officially known – as Southampton claimed a vital lead in the first leg of this EFL semi-final.

With a second leg to come at Anfield then Liverpool are most definitely still in this tie and will be confident of over-turning this deficit at home – and with Jürgen Klopp hoping to protect a record of never having lost a semi-final – but they were overwhelmed at times by a vibrant, rejuvenated Southampton who struck the only goal through Nathan Redmond.
