Liverpool have progressed into the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup by defeating Tottenham 2-1 at Anfield, with the help of a double by Daniel Sturridge.

The Reds just couldn’t have asked for a better start on Tuesday, as they grabbed the lead just 9 minutes into the match, through Daniel Sturridge.

The 27-year-old striker, then doubled Liverpool’s advantage after the break, by converting a one-on-one opportunity in the 64th minute.

Spurs, however, managed to pull one back in the 76th minute when Vincent Janssen converted a penalty, but that was as close as they got, as Liverpool made it to the last eight and stayed on course to lift the trophy for a 9th time in their history.
