Liverpool Shines As Klopp Men Progress


The Brazilian attacker scored one and set up another as the Reds added to the misery of the home side and marched into the fourth round of the competition
In-form Liverpool eased into the fourth round of the EFL Cup with a comprehensive
3-0 victory over Derby County at the iPro Stadium on Tuesday.
Philippe Coutinho scored one goal and assisted the other two as Jurgen Klopp's much-changed side crushed their Championship opponents, in the process extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to five matches.
Ragnar Klavan grabbed Liverpool's opener, the defender capitalising on a defensive error by Derby's Richard Keogh to find the net in the 24th minute.

Liverpool then hit their hosts with a quick-fire double at the start of the second half to put the contest to bed, Coutinho slotting home a one-on-one opportunity before setting up Divock Origi to do likewise from a tight angle.
Having brushed aside Burton Albion in the last round, Klopp's side have now managed eight goals without reply in the competition, raising hopes last year's beaten finalists could be set for a return to Wembley.
The German shuffled his pack for the trip to the east Midlands, handing full debuts to goalkeeper Loris Karius and midfielder Marko Grujic.
Yet despite making seven alterations to the XI that started the 2-1 win over Chelsea last time out, Liverpool’s new-look line-up were quickly into their stride.
Jordan Henderson and Roberto Firmino both fired long-range shots just over before an unlikely source rewarded the visitors' dominance with an opening goal.
