Liverpool vs West Ham LIVE: Carabao Cup result and final score after Curtis Jones doubles up in thrashing

81 mins: Close!

Darwin Nunez drives inside from the left wing and checks past a couple of defenders before letting rip with a decent effort. Alphonse Areola manages to tip the ball onto the far post but the ball rebounds to Mo Salah.

Salah has to shift his feet quickly but can’t control the ball as he taps back goalwards. The lack on control means it bounces wide of the target.

80 mins: Conor Bradley and Luis Diaz are brought onto the pitch for the final 10 minutes or so for Liverpool who have one foot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals. Cody Gakpo, fresh off scoring the Reds’ third, and Kostas Tsimikas are the two men replaced.

Another goal for West Ham now would make things interesting.

77 mins: West Ham launch a throw in up the pitch to Jarrod Bowen who brings the ball under control. He takes on Quansah, cuts inside of the defender and curls a fine effort into the far corner to give the travelling fans something to cheer about.

74 mins: The game is gone for West Ham now so David Moyes decides to switch things up again to try and make the score respectable.

Thilo Kehrer and James Ward-Prowse come on to replace Mohammed Kudus and Vladimir Coufal.

71 mins: Another one!

Ibrahima Konate darts through from the back and isn’t stopped by West Ham’s weak midfield.

He slides a pass across to Cody Gakpo who cuts inside on the edge of the box before fizzing a shot between the legs of Konstantinos Mavropanos and nestling it into the far bottom corner.

69 mins: Close! Quansah slides into a tackle on Bowen and knocks the ball out of play. The West Ham forward takes the throw in quickly and gives it to Mohammed Kudus who darts into the psace left by Quansah.

He unleashes with a fine effort but slides his shot over the crossbar!

66 mins: Curtis Jones’ strike for Liverpool sees the Reds record their 500th goal in the League Cup. They are second on the all-time list now behind Aston Villa.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are closing in on a spot in the semi-finals.

63 mins: Jurgen Klopp responds by making some changes of his own. He replaces Wataru Endo, Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai with Mo Salah, Ibrahima Konate and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

A difficult task for West Ham is quickly becoming an impossible one.

60 mins: That goal has come at the wrong time for West Ham. Davd Moyes was just preparing to bring on Lucas Paqueta, his playmaker, to get the visitors back into the match.

Now it may not matter.

Said Benrahma is the man replaced for the Hammers.
