Five of the starting line-ups against the Arsenal were making a cheap home debut, the most projecting of which was Harvey Elliott who, at 16 years 209 days, became the youngest ever player to feature for the Liverpool at Anfield.

Harvey Elliott, similar to his fellow fledgling talents, learned more in inspiring 90-odd minutes than he perhaps would have done during an entire Premier League season with the under-23s.

The touch and dream that is already setting him away from each other were there, his deception frightening Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli into surrendering a penalty. So too the confidence to provoke the Jurgen Klopp into life when going to take a corner in the second half, a picture Klopp later acknowledged he loved.

Harvey Elliott, though, lost the ball for Arsenal's third goal, a tough lesson about the power of such high-octane games. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher could have done better with at least one Gunners goal, while 17-year-old Centre-back Sepp van den Berg was stable if somewhat raw.

Curtis Jones, no doubt rising at being unlucky to miss out on a start after exciting at MK Dons in the last round, played as if to prove a point on his second-half outline. And come to the penalty shoot-out, he had. This was a night where those youngsters had to grow up quickly.

Brewster and Williams make their mark

Rhian Brewster has had a long time to wait for his Anfield crossbow. Almost two-and-a-half years passed between the striker being on the seat against Crystal Palace to finally pacing on to the field in this Carabao Cup tie.

After the interval, though, Liverpool supporters finally got to see what Brewster was all about. There was the troublesome of the Arsenal backline, the pace to get in behind, the close control to bring team-mates into play, and the strength that drew a series of fouls. Brewster also holds a hint of threat, impulsiveness that will serve him well under Klopp.

So too for Neco Williams, a surprise starter at right-back having impressed the Liverpool boss during recent time training at Melwood. The 18-year-old Welshman showed no fear, warmed to this task in the second half and established the ability going forward regularly obvious for the U23s by putting in the cross for Origi's equalizer.
