    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.

Meanwhile, Chelsea beat Brentford 2-0 to go through.

    Why does it matter?

Jota has now scored in six of his last eight games for the Reds in all competitions, including in three successive matches. As per Squawka Football, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has scored his first goal for Liverpool since May. He had last scored in the Reds' 3-0 win away to Burnley.

    Notable record for Minamino

Jota came on from the bench and scored to make it 3-2 before Minamino hammered a late goal. In the shootout, Liverpool edged past the Foxes.

    Vardy achieves these feats for Leicester

    Vardy has raced to 11 goals for Leicester in all competitions this season (21 matches). He has now hit double digits in terms of goals in seven successive seasons for Leicester. He has 158 goals in 373 matches for the club.
