MrsnowgysSport : Derby 0-3 Liverpool: Comfortable League Cup victory for Reds at Pride Park

Goals

Klavan 24′ (assist: Coutinho – corner)
Coutinho 50′ (assist: Firmino)
Origi 54′ (assist: Coutinho)

Taking to Pride Park for their third-round clash with Derby on Tuesday night,Jurgen Klopp‘s Liverpool lined up against Championship opposition for the second time this season.

After making just four changes for the Reds’ second-round victory over Burton Albion, however, the German employed heavy rotation, with seven changes including a debut for goalkeeper Loris Karius and a first start for fellow arrival Marko Grujic.

Coutinho and Roberto Firmino were among the key names to be included, however, with Klopp keen to secure victory as Liverpool push for a second successive League Cup final.

Both Coutinho and Firmino were in inspired form throughout, and four minutes later the Reds had their third of the night, this time with the former laying it through for Origi to rifle into the top corner.

Firmino almost added a fourth on the hour mark, but Mitchell was on hand to make a strong save, before Klopp withdrew Coutinho to a standing ovation, allowing Danny Ings his first outing of the season.

Liverpool's next match will be against Hull city at the Anfield stadium and let's hope they can keep this consistency going.
