Oliver Glasner’s Eagles got the better of the Reds for the third time this season as they followed their Community Shield shoot-out triumph and last month’s Premier League victory at Selhurst Park with an Anfield win. Sarr’s first-half brace and a late Yeremy Pino strike secured FA Cup holders Palace a 3-0 fourth round victory as increasingly scrutinised Liverpool boss Slot’s bold decision to make 10 changes backfired in front of a full house.

Slot’s men had started Wednesday’s tie brightly, only for familiar foe Sarr to score twice at the end of the opening period to make it seven goals in nine matches against Liverpool. Nick Woltemade's sixth goal of the season (above) sealed holders Newcastle’s passage to a fourth-successive Carabao Cup quarter-final as Tottenham became their latest victims.

Goncalo Franco had fired the Championship outfit ahead with the game's first goal attempt after 12 minutes but City equalised before half-time as Jeremy Doku’s effort took a wicked deflection. Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka both struck in the second half to secure Arsenal's eighth-consecutive victory with a 2-0 fourth-round win over Brighton at the Emirates.
