Arsenal secured a comfortable 5-1 win over Bolton in the League Cup third round, with goals from Nwaneri (2), Rice, Sterling and Havertz. Notably, 16-year-old Porter started in goal for the Gunners.

Meanwhile, Liverpool cruised to a 5-1 victory over West Ham, thanks to braces from Jota and Gakpo, and a goal from Salah.

The match saw a dramatic second half as West Ham’s Edson Alvarez was sent off for a second yellow card, leaving them a man down and allowing Liverpool to exploit the situation.
