Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed his young players after their amazing Carabao Cup win over Arsenal.

Liverpool beat Arsenal in a dramatic penalty shootout to decide a 10-goal thriller at Anfield in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Kelleher, 20, saved Dani Ceballos' penalty in the bottom right corner to seal a 5-4 shootout win.

Divock Origi's 94th-minute scissor kick sent the game to penalties after Liverpool had twice come from behind to draw level in normal time.

There were five goals in each half, including a penalty and an own goal.

Klopp said, "We made some mistakes, we played some average passes. We were too open at times. We can talk about tactics but who cares on a night like this? I hoped for the boys they would have a game to remember. What they did tonight, I lost it really.

"It's like a dream to play for the first time at Anfield, but things might not be going right and you have to stay on track. All our goals we cored were wonderful.

"Kelleher is an outstanding talent. The crossing from Williams, he might not thought he would play tonight.

"Jones... it was not my decision in the end for him to take the last penalty. When I saw the list Origi was the taker of the last one and they changed it obviously.

"If you don't win nobody remembers it in three years, if it works out the boys will remember it forever."
