Chelsea has now lost five penalty shoot-outs to Liverpool after Wesley Fofana missed a crucial spot-kick at Anfield. Normal time ended level after Morgan Rogers and Cody Gakpo both scored penalties during a fast-paced cup tie. Referee Darren England awarded both spot-kicks instantly without any video assistant referee technology getting in the way. Former Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson faced boos from the home crowd all evening. Manager Xabi Alonso made four changes for Chelsea following a recent home defeat by Tottenham. Andoni Iraola made seven changes to his Liverpool starting lineup after beating Brighton at the weekend. Giorgi Mamardashvili made a superb late save to deny Emmanuel Emegha and force the game into penalties. Fofana then sent his effort high into the Kop to send Liverpool through to the quarter-finals.
