Leiester 2-0 Liverpool: Islam Slimani secures Carabao Cup win for Foxes

Islam Slimani scored a brilliant goal as Leicester beat Liverpool 2-0 in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Substitute Shinji Okazaki opened the scoring in the 66th minute before Slimani fired in from outside the box to seal victory for the Foxes.

Liverpool, with Philippe Coutinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain starting, had dominated the first half, but failed to take any of their chances.

Jurgen Klopp's side, who made the semi-finals last year and final in 2016, have now failed to win any of their last four matches.

Leicester, meanwhile, are into the fourth round for the first time since 2015, having recovered from a dismal first-half performance to progress.

Liverpool were dominant in the opening 45 minutes, with Andy Robertson providing plenty of attacking threat down the left side and Coutinho pulling the strings in the middle.

Oxlade-Chamberlain saw an early chance blocked from a Robertson cross before Dominic Solanke shot narrowly wide and Coutinho had an effort saved.

Leicester offered nothing in response and Robertson continued to create chances, crossing to the back post for Solanke to turn over and then putting in a ball that Coutinho almost tapped in. Solanke also lobbed onto the roof of the net towards the end of the half.

But, having replaced Coutinho at half-time, Liverpool lost their control of the game in the second half.

Leicester were forced into a change after Leonardo Ulloa was left dazed by a header, and it was his replacement, Okazaki, who scored the opener, prodding home in the 66th minute from Vicente Iborra's header back.

Oxlade-Chamberlain fired over and Ben Woodburn went close before Danny Ings came on for his first Liverpool appearance since October 2016.

However, it was Leicester who scored the decisive second as Slimani fired in a brilliant strike from outside the box.

Tottenham 1-0 Barnsley: Dele Alli hits winner for Spurs at Wembley

Last Updated: 19/09/17 10:39pm



Dele Alli hit the winner for Tottenham as they snuck past Barnsley 1-0 at Wembley to reach the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Spurs took 62 minutes to register a shot on target as Fernando Llorente struggled to fill Harry Kane's boots on his first start for the club - but Alli struck from close range on 65 minutes to ease the nerves.

Barnsley stood firm for the majority of the evening and missed a couple of presentable chances from set-pieces, most notably from Liam Lindsay just before the break.

This was Spurs' second victory at their new home in five attempts this season, although they remain without a win at the 'home of football' in the Premier League.

The four-time Carabao Cup winners go into the hat for the draw for the fourth round, which will be made on Wednesday evenin

Spurs enjoyed plenty of territory in the first-half and fired 11 shots on goal, but all were off target as Llorente was guilty of missing the best opportunity from a Kieran Trippier corner.

The Championship outfit, who were thrashed 3-0 by Aston Villa at the weekend, looked up for the battle at the famous ground and Lindsay should have hit the target after Ryan Hedges had sent over a fantastic delivery from the right.

Chelsea loanee Ike Ugbo led the line with great maturity despite being just 19-years-old and tested Michel Vorm from 15 yards with a half-volley on 46 minutes but the goalkeeper pushed it clear.

Spurs needed a spark from somewhere and it was Trippier who provided it.

The full-back beat his man down the right with a clever trick, which gave him the opportunity to pick out Alli in the six-yard box. The England international had spent most of the night missing the target with his efforts - but this one was impossible to waste as he rolled home from three yards out.

Despite plenty of huffing and puffing there was no way back for Barnsley.

Man of the match - Kieran Trippier

Always an outlet on the right flank, the full-back produced the match-winning moment. Receiving an aerial ball, his first touch took him away from his marker and he fizzed a wonderful cross from which Alli couldn't miss. His set-piece delivery was on point, too, and he could've had two assists had Llorente not fluffed his lines in the first half from Trippier's corner. On this showing, Tottenham have a more than adequate replacement for Kyle Walker.

What's next?

Tottenham are back in action on Saturday lunchtime with a trip to West Ham United on their agenda, which is live on Sky Sports Premier League. Meanwhile, Barnsley will look to turn around their poor league form when they visit Wolves on Saturday.

【now.com體育】周二英格蘭聯賽盃第3圈，利物浦仍未走出近期悶局，作客李斯特城淨吞2蛋，行人止步。

賽前3場不勝的紅軍是役派出多名後備上陣，丹尼禾特把守獨木關，法拿根、安德魯羅拔臣等現身防線，小將蘇蘭基任箭頭，主將也有菲臘比古天奴（Philippe Coutinho）、佐敦軒達臣等。上半場，雙方攻勢乏善可陳，威脅性不大，互交白卷。

下半場，主隊李城因禍得福，日本國腳岡崎慎司入替受傷的荷西烏路亞，53分鐘埋下了晉級伏筆。直至65分鐘，伊保拉頭槌二傳，岡崎慎司勁射入網打破僵局。久違了的前鋒丹尼艾格斯其後入替中場韋拿杜姆，用意明顯，惜紅軍尚未成功爭取扳平就再度失守。

78分鐘，岡崎慎司突破後送前，施利文尼推到禁區邊起腳，皮球直飛遠柱入網，奠定2:0勝局。紅軍出局之餘經歷4場不勝，領隊高普的壓力逐漸增加，且看他如何化解？

【now.com體育】周二英聯盃第3圈，迪利阿里下半場一箭定江山，協助英超勁旅熱刺主場小勝英冠的班士利，有驚無險晉級下一圈。

聯賽悶和史雲斯的熱刺，是役派出迪利阿里（Dele Alli）、孫興民、迪比利等領軍，西班牙空中霸王洛蘭迪取代哈利卡尼的箭頭位置。比賽形勢一面倒，熱刺上演攻守戰，全場射門多達25場，但腳風欠順，半場0:0進入更衣室。戰至65分鐘，捷比亞送上助攻，迪利阿里冷靜射入領先1:0。

入球欲旺盛的孫興民完場前7分鐘窄角度起腳被阻；2分鐘後，他又再攻門，但被門將撲出底線，熱刺終只藉阿里攻入全場唯一入球，淘汰班士利出局。

另一倫敦英超兵韋斯咸主場迎戰保頓，開賽4分鐘由守將奧邦拿打開紀錄，迪亞法沙高拉擴大比分，補時階段馬蘇亞古離門25碼抽入，錦上添花大勝3:0。

同日部份賽果，布里斯托城2:0勝史篤城、水晶宮1:0贏哈德斯菲爾德，而雷丁0:2負史雲斯。

The Reds dominated the first period in the Midlands but were unable to find a way through and substitute Okazaki fired in a 67th-minute opener before Slimani lashed home a second 12 minutes from time to send the Foxes through.

Klopp's side, who have now gone four games without a win, were not the only Premier League team to exit inside 90 minutes as Stoke and Huddersfield both fell to away losses at Bristol City and Crystal Palace respectively.

The Potters were undone by two goals in 10 second-half minutes from Famara Diedhiou and Matt Taylor, while Roy Hodgson earned his first win as Palace boss thanks to Bakary Sako's header early on.

Dele Alli's 65th-minute winner ensured Tottenham saw off Sky Bet Championship club Barnsley at Wembley while West Ham eased past second-tier opposition Bolton 3-0, with Angelo Ogbonna, Diafra Sakho and Arthur Masuaku all on target for the Hammers.

Paul Clement's Swansea also made into the last 16 as Alfie Mawson and Jordan Ayew struck in the second half of their 2-0 success at Reading.

Patrick Bamford bagged a brace as Middlesbrough won 2-0 against Aston Villa, who ended with 10 men due to Tommy Elphick's red card, and Norwich's Mario Vrancic also netted twice in their 3-1 victory at Brentford.

Three games went to extra-time on Tuesday night as Championship Wolves edged past League One Bristol Rovers 1-0, and Josh King's goal saw Bournemouth beat Brighton. Finally, Leeds won 5-3 on penalties at Burnley after a dramatic 2-2 draw at Turf Moor.

利物浦周二晚在英格蘭聯賽盃第3圈賽事作客以0:2不敵李斯特城，率先在今季首項賽事畢業。紅軍今仗在上半場雖然多番攻門不果，但總算表現對辦，當中尤以今夏曾鬧出離隊風波的進攻中場菲臘比古天奴為甚，這名巴西國腳更堪稱利記場上最危險的球員。但利物浦領隊高路普在下半場開始前將古天奴調出，由小將活特本入替，球隊頓失進攻靈魂下最終輸波。

李城領隊沙士比亞賽後承認，古天奴在下半場未有上陣是整場比賽的轉捩點。但高路普強調，將古天奴調離火線是一早已經計劃好的決定，目的是讓季初因為背傷而缺席球季早段多場比賽的他逐步回復狀態。該名德國籍主帥稱：「我在開賽前已經制定了計劃，他需要上陣時間，但我們不許他踢90分鐘、或是60和80分鐘，所以只能是45分鐘。我們要他恢復狀態，但不能逼得太緊，情況就是這樣，古天奴沒有異樣，他的康復進度是在計劃之內。」
