Liverpool go through. But in Sky Sports Football's Carabao Cup highlights, even Chelsea hitting the post cannot settle a match in which every goal comes from the penalty spot.
Morgan Rogers puts Chelsea ahead after Caicedo is fouled inside the box. A handball gives Cody Gakpo the chance to equalize, and the goalkeepers take over: Mamardashvili and Penders make saves that keep the teams level through the end of normal time.
The shootout offers chances to finish it, then takes them away. Barco strikes the post, only for Tsimikas to send Liverpool's next kick over the bar. Penders saves a Liverpool effort; Mamardashvili answers by stopping Emegha. Finally, Joe Gomez converts before Wesley Fofana's miss sends Liverpool into the quarter-finals.
The package drew roughly 860,000 views in its first day, more than thirty times the channel's usual opening for regular videos. In the comments, viewers point out the all-penalty scoring, highlight Mamardashvili's saves and welcome seeing the whole shootout included rather than just its decisive kicks.
Anfield is not the channel's only busy cup tie. Its Manchester City-Brighton highlights also drew an unusually large audience, with Rulli saving twice in another shootout after City came from behind to force a draw.
