Edson Alvarez sent off for two bookings on miserable trip to Merseyside

Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo scored two goals apiece as holders Liverpool thrashed West Ham United 5-1 at Anfield on Wednesday to move into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

The visiting West Ham actually opened the scoring at Anfield when Wataru Endo's attempt to clear a corner kick ricocheted off Jarell Quansah and past keeper Caoimhin Kelleher for an own goal.

The Hammers' celebrations were short-lived as Jota eqaualised four minutes later, leaping to head home Federico Chiesa's acrobatic volley. Jota netted his second in the 49th minute when Curtis Jones slotted a reverse pass to the Portuguese player who scored into the bottom corner.

Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah all but put the game away in the 74th minute when he knocked in the rebound off Alexis Mac Allister's shot. Gakpo added to Liverpool's lead with goals in the 90th and 93rd minutes. Edson Alvarez was sent off for two bookings.

Slot delighted as Chiesa makes quick-fire impact for Liverpool

Arne Slot heaped praise on Federico Chiesa after Liverpool’s summer signing registered an assist on his first start for the club.

Chiesa assisted Diogo Jota’s first-half equaliser and played 60 minutes as the Reds reached the Carabao Cup fourth round with a 5-1 win against West Ham at Anfield.

The Italian winger suffered a serious knee injury shortly after starring at Euro 2020 and, having struggled to return to his previous best since returning to action, he left Juventus for Liverpool this summer in a £12.5million deal.

Julen Lopetegui offers apology to West Ham supporters after 5-1 Carabao Cup defeat at Liverpool

Julen Lopetegui said he is “so sorry” to West Ham’s travelling supporters after their 5-1 defeat at Liverpool.

The Hammers were thrashed at Anfield as they crashed out of the Carabao Cup at the third round stage despite leading 1-0 early on in the game.

Lopetegui’s side have made an underwhelming start to the season, in which they have only won two games in all competitions.

“Today, there are two parts”, Lopetegui explained. “We did very well until 70 minutes. After the red card [for Edson Alvarez], it was another kind of match. We lost 5-1, it’s true, but we had good things. We have to keep the good things.

West Ham show there is a fine line between rotten run of fixtures and rotten form

West Ham keep facing top opposition and keep losing to them, and Julen Lopetegui remains unable to change the record there.

Liverpool’s 5-1 thrashing of the Hammers felt a particularly unsightly scoreline at the end — West Ham had not disgraced themselves — but a Carabao Cup exit always felt the likely outcome for Lopetegui’s side at Anfield. They’re out now, and then some.

It felt as though Lopetegui had a point on Tuesday, when he reminded reporters that the Irons’ only home matches this season besides the second-round win over Bournemouth have seen them face — and lose to — Aston Villa, Manchester City and Chelsea. No easy task there.

West Ham ratings: Alvarez endures torrid night but Soler looks bright

West Ham were knocked out of the Carabao Cup at the third-round stage as they were beaten 5-1 by Liverpool.

The Hammers took the lead at Anfield through a peculiar own goal by Jarell Quansah, but Liverpool were soon level through Diogo Jota.

He then struck again five minutes after the break, and substitute Mohamed Salah rammed home the third to ensure Liverpool’s passage into Round Four, before Cody Gakpo added two more late on to add some shine on the scoreline for the rampant Reds.

Dom Smith at Anfield

Cody Gakpo richly deserves that goal. He's been Liverpool's most lively player tonight. But it just gives an ill-looking appearance to the scoreline of what was already defeat for West Ham. Five minutes added on.
