It proved to be a night of major surprises and expected progressions in the League Cup, with one of the competition's front-runners suffering a shock exit.

Stunning Loss for Liverpool

Crystal Palace produced a dominant three-nil victory against their hosts, sealing a notable hat-trick of triumphs over Arne Slot's side in recent months.

The outcome means the South London club have now beaten Liverpool on three separate instances, which includes a penalty shoot-out victory in the season's traditional curtain-raiser and a two-one league win at Selhurst Park.

The traveling supporters could be heard mockingly singing, "Can we play you each week?"

Significant Chance for The Eagles

Although their current successes, they have not once reached the showpiece event of this competition, having fallen at the semi-final stage on 4 past occasions.

The last semi-final appearance in this tournament was back in 2001, which makes their current run especially noteworthy for the club.

Compounding their recently acquired accomplishment, Palace had previously never won the FA Cup or FA Community Shield before this year.

• Chelsea also advanced, demonstrating their intent in the tournament.
