In the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, Liverpool secured a dominant 5-1 victory over West Ham United, advancing to the semi-finals. Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring with a stunning strike, and Curtis Jones contributed two goals, including one from a tight angle. Cody Gakpo also found the net, while Mohamed Salah rounded off the scoring for Liverpool. Despite Jarrod Bowen pulling one back for West Ham, the Reds' firepower proved too much. Fulham, after a penalty shootout win against Everton, where Tosin Adarabioyo scored the decisive penalty making it 6-5 after Garner scored for Everton, will face Liverpool in the semi-finals. Chelsea also advanced to the semi-finals after a dramatic penalty shootout win against Newcastle United, with Mykhailo Mudryk's last-gasp equaliser forcing penalties after Kieran Trippier's mistake. Chelsea's goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic was the hero, saving from Matt Ritchie in the shootout. Chelsea will face Middlesbrough in their semi-final tie. Enzo Fernandez was substituted due to not feeling well, and Antonee Robinson helped Fulham reach the semi-finals for the first time, setting up the Cottagersโ goal in the match that ended Everton 1-1 Fulham.

Szoboszlai with an absolute gem of a shot. You cannot give most of these guys two yards of space or they'll punish you.
Just when we thought Szoboszlai was starting to drop off, he pulls that out the bag. What a strike! He needs to try that more often. #LFC Totally deserved lead.
Szoboszlai, the type of goal we should see more often.

Thatโs as tough a defeat as you can imagine for #nufc. I feel desperately sorry for Kieran Trippier but I know there will be other emotions circulating tonight. Try to resist them. You wanted a club and team that tries. Luck hasnโt been with them all season. Football is cruel.
Another bitter cup exit for #NUFC after a strange, very un-Eddie Howe-esque display. Only one shot during the entire second half. #CFC dominated possession & territory but a tired-looking #NUFC had defended resolutely after Callum Wilson's opener & looked to set to see it outโฆ
A real shame. Kieran Trippier will be kicking himself tonight. #NUFC
Chelsea are through to the semi-finals. 4-2 on pens after a 1-1 draw. They probably have Kieran Trippier to thank more than anyone - gifted the equaliser and then missed in the shootout {along with Ritchie). Pochettino launches into a big celebration.

FT Everton 1-1 Fulham We're going to pens Who are your takers?
Tete floats a cross to the back post, De Cordova-Reid takes it down but his return ball just evades everyone. Tosin had made two key interventions before that. This change in shape from Fulham has really helped them counter Everton. Bit more open in these final stages. 96 gone.
Fulham have switched things up. Back five now, Robinson and Tete wing backs. Cairney, Palhinha, Pereira in the middle. De Cordova-Reid supporting Vinicius in attack. #FFC #EVEFUL
Garner getting treatment. Off the ball, Tarkowski smashes into the back of Muniz, sending him flying. Muniz then flicks out in return. All unseen. Muniz is now being replaced, Vinicius on. Iwobi off for Diop. #EVEFUL
Fulham were just readying Diop and Castagne before that... Cross from the left, Tosin blocks, Robinson's clearance doesn't leave the box, I think it's Garner who then shoots and it's not cleared again, possibly Robinson again, and Beto knocks it in. #EVEFUL
Into the 80th min now. Everton have the last 10 plus stoppage time to save this. *Should be a decent amount added on given how long Fulham are taking with goal kicks
Muniz skips around Tarkowski who brings him down. Boa Morte wants a yellow for that one but not coming, looked like one. 79 gone. #EVEFUL
It's Reed on for Pereira, and De Cordova-Reid on for Wilson. #EVEFUL
Pereira ready to come on, De Cordova-Reid too getting prepped. Everton just increasing the pressure. 15 to go. #EVEFUL
Brilliant save from Leno to deny Beto from Onana's ball. Flag goes up but might have been on
Tosin again. This time he blocks a McNeil shot. He has been excellent -- still yet to concede since returning to the team. Leno then denies Beto, super stop, but flag is up. #EVEFUL
Patterson hits the byline, crosses for Beto but Tosin is there again. #EVEFUL
Iwobi fires a shot at goal from 25 yards off a short corner. Pickford palms it away. #EVEFUL
Tosin with a great header inside the six yard box, Fulham had just dropped a little deep but they clear the danger. Muniz then does really well to turn and win a foul up the pitch to ease the pressure. #EVEFUL
Cairney has managed to be swift enough to get on during the same stoppage. Willian heads off, so Iwobi will head to the left. #FFC #EVEFUL
Everton sub. Calvert-Lewin head off, Beto on. Silva immediately calls on Tom Cairney who is now getting ready. #FFC #EVEFUL
Frustration ratcheting up with every stoppage, and every Fulham pass. Wouldn't say Fulham are overly timewasting, but home crowd certainly feeling the angst. Fulham just need to keep the ball, keep the frustration growing. 59 mins gone. #FFC #EVEFUL
Wilson almost sends Calvert-Lewin through on goal with an undercooked pass, but Leno salvages it. #FFC #EVEFUL
Tosin & Bassey are dealing really well with DCL aerially. *Has to be more to Everton's game than that if they want to get back into this
Harrison lets fly from 25 yards, whistles just wide. Fulham were doing a good job of retaining the ball, frustrating the crowd. #FFC #EVEFUL
Willian back on his feet after a stoppage, set to return. #FFC #EVEFUL
#CFC's defending was comical, but Callum Wilson's desire, composure & clinical finish ensures #NUFC lead at the break. The home side are dominating possession, but Newcastle's defensive shape is frustrating then well. #NUFC look dangerous when they nick possession but it's beenโฆ
Willian caught by Patterson in the air. Booked. Willian receiving treatment.
โฐ HT at Stamford Bridge Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle โ What did you make of that half? ๐ค
Some huge moments in this half - Caicedo's awful challenge on Gordon, Gallagher hitting the bar, comical Chelsea defending, Wilson's persistence, Bruno's great clearance - & #NUFC just about on the right side of them. Not seeing much of the ball, but v dangerous on the counter.
HT Everton 0-1 Fulham. Moment of fortune for visitors the difference. Otherwise little in it Dyche's side have not been effective chasing games this season so uphill battle ahead. Will need to show more guile. Fulham defenders - Tosin in particular - have coped well with crosses
Enzo Fernandez was substituted due to not feeling well. [via @SkySports]
Garner floats a free kick towards the back post but it drops just wide. #FFC #EVEFUL
Lovely turn by Muniz in the build up to the goal. Made the ball stick, found Willian and Robinson was already on his bike, thundering up the line. #FFC
Willian fires the free kick under the wall and it just misses the post... #FFC #EVEFUL
It's the season for giving - and Chelsea have handed Newcastle an absolute gift! ๐ Benoit Badiashile's error lets in Callum Wilson to score on his 100th Magpies appearance. #BBCFootball #CarabaoCup https://t.co/HNDE6XmbbK
Keane clatters Muniz on the edge of the box, with his arms up. Keane booked, strange leap that one. Free kick in a really good position here for Fulham... #EVEFUL
Harrison cross to the back post, Branthwaite attacks down the blind side of Tete and gets there, tame header though for Leno. Everton the better side over the past 10 mins. #EVEFUL
An absolute shambles of a goal...Colwill, Silva and Badiashile combine to allow Wilson an easy finish. 1-0 #NUFC #CHENEW
Branthwaite heads straight at Leno from Harrison's cross. Decent chance at the back post
#cfc 0-1 #nufc Dreadful error from Badiashile allows Wilson a chance which he takes smartly.
Everton sustain some pressure, Branthwaite does really well on the left to win the ball back off Tete and then cross it. Home crowd respond. #EVEFUL #FFC
Reed hounded down by Tarkowski, looks like he's about to lose it on the edge of the box but manages to turn smartly on the slide. 22 gone. #EVEFUL
Everton happy to sit back & let Fulham dictate so far, similar to the Burnley game on Saturday
Gana in down the right but cross evades everyone. Better from Everton - first time they've properly put together a move
Fulham have started the better of the two sides, forcing the ball into some dangerous areas. Branthwaite alert again to block Reed's pass to goal
Tosin fires the ball into Muniz's feet, the striker plays it first-time with a deft touch to Reed who just can't quite take it in his stride. Decent spell of possession for #FFC. #EVEFUL
Branthwaite does superbly to stop Wilson getting clear run at goal after fast Fulham break
Branthwaite on the cover stops Wilson breaking. Reed's pass after a turnover, the defender did well.. #FFC #EVEFUL
Iwobi is on the left side of midfield, as the 8/10. Reed to the right. Willian on left, Wilson on the right. #FFC #EVEFUL
