Manager Arne Slot, who made eight changes following Liverpool’s League Cup semi-final first-leg loss to Tottenham, described the match as Accrington’s “Champions League final.”

Despite being 86 league places below the Premier League leaders, Stanley held firm for nearly 30 minutes before Liverpool broke through.

“It was surreal,” said Accrington forward and Liverpool fan Josh Woods.

“They are world-class players and on the counter it is hard to stop.”

Diogo Jota made no mistake, tapping in from Darwin Nunez’s low cross to open the scoring for Liverpool.

Trent Alexander-Arnold then took the spotlight, doubling the lead with a stunning strike into the top corner from outside the box.

Jayden Danns, making only his second appearance of the season, added a third with a well-taken goal 14 minutes from time.
