Liverpool shot Mohammed Kudus’ high-flying West Ham down to the ground with a 5-1 victory at Anfield in a quarter-final tie of the 2023–24 Carabao Cup.
Dominik Szoboszlai had driven a superb 25-yard effort into the bottom corner after 28 minutes before Curtis Jones added a second 11 minutes into the second half.
Cody Gakpo was given too much space to fire home his eighth goal of the season 19 minutes from time, then Mohamed Salah made it four when he raced clear of the visitors defense and finished, before Jones finished off an excellent run by adding his second as Jarred Bowen grabbed West Ham’s consolation in the 77th minute.
Liverpool will face Fulham in the semi-finals, with the first leg in the week beginning January 8 and the second leg two weeks later.
