Anytime there was a goal in the match, it would pop up in the corner of the screen, with the commentators giving extra details. They also did it for the other Carabao Cup matches, but it was the Scottish updates people were unhappy about.

@Stanleysonson said: "Missed another Liverpool attack as @SkySports blocking half the screen showing me a Scottish goal. Why do they think anyone wants this?"

A confused @Blaynos14 remarked: "Why are Sky showing Scottish football highlights during Liverpool v Chelsea?"

While @SheepMma asked a similar question, saying: Why are Sky showing rangers highlights during a Liverpool v Chelsea game?"

The two sides couldn't be separated in the second half, but in keeping with the theme of the night, it was a penalty shootout that decided the match. Chelsea had the chance to win it when Ryan Gravenberch missed from 12 yards, but debutant Emanuel Emegha fluffed his lines.

A goal from Joe Gomez put the Reds back in control, with Wesley Fofana guilty of missing the crucial penalty. It's another positive result for Andoni Iraola's Liverpool, who haven't missed a beat since losing to Manchester City earlier this month.

They welcome champions Arsenal to Anfield on Sunday as they look to make it six wins in a row across all competitions. Meanwhile, Chelsea host under-pressure Manchester United in Saturday's early kick-off.
