Dominik Szoboszlai\u2019s stunning second-half strike helped Liverpool come from behind to beat Leicester City in the Carabao Cup third round.<\/p>\n

Kasey McAteer gave Leicester the lead just three minutes in as the Championship leaders hit their Premier League hosts on the counter-attack.<\/p>\n

Liverpool pushed hard for a leveller, with youngsters Harvey Elliott and Ben Doak rattling the woodwork and Jarell Quansah thwarted by Jakub Stolarczyk.<\/p>\n

Cody Gakpo was the man who got the Reds\u2019 equaliser with a well-taken finish just after half-time, having earlier been denied by Conor Coady\u2019s goalline clearance.<\/p>\n

It was then the Dutch forward\u2019s turn to strike the woodwork, as his header hit the bar following good build-up play from Doak and Elliott.<\/p>\n

Szoboszlai edged Liverpool ahead when, moments after being introduced as a second-half substitute, he arrowed an unstoppable shot in off the crossbar.<\/p>\n

Leicester looked to respond as they sought a first victory at Anfield since 2000, but incessant pressure from the hosts eventually told with a third goal.<\/p>\n

A nonchalant flick from Diogo Jota put the result beyond doubt as the 2022 winners reached the fourth round.<\/p>\n
