Arsenal beat Ipswich 4-2 and Liverpool beat Tottenham 3-1 to progress in the Carabao Cup third round.
The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
Arsenal and Liverpool secured their places in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with wins on Tuesday night, while Tottenham Hotspur were knocked out after a 3-1 defeat at Anfield.
At Ipswich, Arsenal won 4-2, with 16-year-old Max Dowman scoring twice. The teenager, who does not turn 17 until December, was central to a victory that keeps Arsenal's perfect start to the season intact. They have now won all six competitive matches.
Liverpool made ten changes for their meeting with Spurs, yet still had enough to control the game. Alexis Mac Allister was among those rested, but the home side's quality showed in the second half. Cody Gakpo thought he had sealed the win, but Spurs finally found a breakthrough from close range to make it 2-1. However, Dominic Szoboszlai added a stoppage-time goal to confirm Liverpool's passage and send Tottenham out.
The result extends a worrying run for Spurs. They have still not scored in four Premier League games this season, and despite showing some fight at Anfield, they could not avoid another defeat. For Arsenal, the emergence of Dowman offers another reason for optimism as they continue their strong start under Mikel Arteta.
