Takumi Minamino scored an equalizer in the 95th minute

Liverpool produced a dramatic turnaround to stun Leicester City and reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. Liverpool found themselves two goals down early on and went into half-time trailing 3-1. However, they found a way back with Diogo Jota cutting the deficit before Takumi Minamino scoring a 95th-minute equalizer. Liverpool won on penalties.
