Hugo Ekitike was sent off after scoring a late winner for Liverpool in their 2-1 victory over Southampton in the English League Cup. Ekitike's red card, received for a second yellow after celebrating by removing his shirt, means he will miss the upcoming Premier League match against Crystal Palace. The match saw Alexander Isak score his first goal for Liverpool, while Southampton equalized before Ekitike's decisive goal. Liverpool's performance was noted as not their best, but they managed to secure another late win.
