Liverpool have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup after they were beaten 2-0 by Leicester City at the King Power stadium.
Two second half goals from Shinji Okazaki and Islam Slimani earned the Foxes a place in the fourth round of the competition.

Manager Jurgen Klopp made eight changes to the side that drew with Burnley at the weekend, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Phillipe Coutinho starting, but despite dominating the game, they failed to break down Leicester as the first half ended goalless.

Jurgen Klopp unimpressed with his defenders.

After the break, Coutinho was replaced by Woodburn, but the Reds’ dominance started to wane and five minutes after the hour mark, the home side found the breakthrough via Okazaki, who scored to put the Foxes 1-0 up.

Leicester doubled their lead thirteen minutes later, as a Slimani stunner sealed the win and Leicester’s progression to the fourth round for the first time since 2015.
