00:00I was thrilled to see him get his first goal at the weekend against Bournemouth.
00:04I'm really hoping he can have a big performance.
00:06He's for the Hammers, he's got 11 goals to his name.
00:08In midfield, Carlos Soler starts in midfield on loan from PSG,
00:11which is really good, I think he brings a...
00:14Liverpool's defence of the trophy starts here.
00:17Their sole silverware last season came in this competition,
00:19many of whom get their opportunity tonight
00:22as part of the adaptation process in the English game.
00:24And it's Liverpool playing...
00:26...casting this early corner kick.
00:29Costa-Sinicas is going to take,
00:31clicked on and just diverted away from danger.
00:35Only just diverted away from danger.
00:39By Vladimir Sofal.
00:45To date, most of those that have started for Liverpool this season
00:49are available on the bench.
00:51It's Chiesa, trying to disguise the pass, but it's Kody Gakpo.
00:59It's like he started wide on the left.
01:02So many different options in attack for Liverpool.
01:10And a Bradley.
01:13Kody Gakpo.
01:16Sinicas advanced.
01:18That's cut out by Jean-Claude Thibaut at the expense of the corner.
01:27Goes deeper with this one.
01:29Those making a move in the middle.
01:33Didn't quite reach him.
01:36Here goes Xhota, partially clear, back in by Bowen.
01:40And Socek got something on it.
01:44Somerville.
01:46A little bit too much of that to Endo, did he?
01:49Good enough to get the decision, though.
01:53Plenty to aim at here, West Ham left back.
01:56In by Creswell, and all the way, a cross goal.
02:00And well wide in the end from Thibaut.
02:05Thibaut against Sinicas again, tight to the touchline.
02:08And now Jarrod Bowen to come clear and to have it.
02:16In by Kwanzaa.
02:21Curtis Jones.
02:24Alan Nunez couldn't capitalise, though.
02:29Alvarez, inside dispossessed.
02:31Further scoring came in the second period.
02:34Here is Gakpo, Sinicas in support.
02:37Helping it on to doing so has actually found Jarrod Bowen.
02:40Progress held up by Jones, but Bowen is away from him.
02:43Got Ings ahead of him, and slips it infield instead for Somerville in space.
02:48Touched with a little heavy through those four, Danny Ings!
02:52To find the finish, and to thump it in, but it's not going to count with the flag up.
02:58And he knew it, never really started his celebrations.
03:03Endo.
03:07Cut out by Bowen.
03:08Still potentially problem.
03:11So far, will reach this, and did well there to cut back the cross.
03:17First of all to take the corner.
03:20Kielman, and so checked to aim for in the middle, to Thibaut forward as well.
03:24And it's Kielman, he gets the touch to Thibaut, Alvarez!
03:27Still Alvarez, and it deflects in!
03:31Oh, Kwanzaa!
03:33It's West Ham United who lead.
03:36On the back foot for most of the match so far.
03:39But they are ahead at Anfield.
03:43Liverpool just didn't deal with it.
03:52Alvarez, I think, had just been played onside,
03:54he got a couple of goes at it, prodded it goalwards.
03:57Clipped the heel, really, of Gerrard Kwanzaa on the way in.
04:06Maybe the shin.
04:09Either way, it's the opening goal of this third-round tie.
04:13And it's a West Ham United goal.
04:17Just couldn't get out of the...
04:22Chance for the response from the Reds then, from the free kick.
04:25Back for later, maybe.
04:28Jota forward for Liverpool.
04:30Gatpoe is going to reach it.
04:32Support arriving in the middle, Cody Gatpoe trying to tee one up.
04:37In towards Diogo Jota.
04:39And in for the equaliser.
04:41Liverpool are level, and it didn't take long.
04:45Returned towards him by Federico Chiesa, who played his part.
04:50And Jota gets the goal.
05:01Again, just onside, looking at that was Cody Gatpoe.
05:04So far was hoping for the flag that didn't come.
05:08Time to look up.
05:09Chiesa didn't really quite catch it as intended, I don't think,
05:12but it worked out rather nicely for Diogo Jota.
05:18Acrobatic attempt straight into the ground.
05:21Jota alert to the opening, you could see the reaction there on his face.
05:26First goal since then tonight.
05:28Now Bradley.
05:29And it will come all the way through for Cody Gatpoe!
05:32Just wide.
05:33Took a touch on the way through.
05:37What's going on in the penalty area?
05:40Turned in towards Diogo Jota.
05:42One of the smaller players in red was the closest actually to getting on the end of it.
05:46Back in here by Bradley, but too much on it.
05:50But enjoying the challenge.
05:52Chance tonight to show what he has learnt.
05:55Put that into practice as Lugomes does up from the back.
05:57Simicas trying to make it stick.
05:59Would have been space in behind for Bowen.
06:02This is Chiesa.
06:04Looks like he's been given the license to roam a little bit.
06:07Gets it back from Simicas.
06:09A little bit of pinball in the penalty area.
06:15Will be frustrated that he was allowed to fashion a way through here.
06:20Although eventually they've got the decision.
06:32And it comes then from Creswell.
06:34Alvarez rising.
06:35Gomez went with him.
06:36This is Bowen.
06:38Hit.
06:40Creswell again.
06:41Standing over it.
06:50Creswell, good one.
06:51Helped on.
06:53And he's so checked towards Bowen.
06:57And a chase with Diogo Jota.
06:59And a chase with Diogo Jota.
07:03Liverpool's Portuguese, well, he didn't make the most of what followed.
07:07Only now is Gakpo getting back to his feet with Liverpool attacking through Chiesa.
07:12Going for glory.
07:14Never quite close enough with that one.
07:17Nunez.
07:19And West Ham will have one left attacker.
07:21The half of their own with Jarrod Bowen releasing it first time looking for Somerville.
07:26Diogo Jota.
07:27His goal helped them back on terms in that first half.
07:30Or the first touch of the second half.
07:32Diogo Jota goes cross field for Cody Gakpo.
07:34Finds him in some space.
07:35Gakpo brings it down.
07:36And returns it.
07:37And it almost came for Chiesa.
07:41It would have done but for an important touch off Koeman.
07:44Good world to wriggle into a little bit of space.
07:47Now Gakpo.
07:51James having continued his run.
07:52Menacingly.
07:53Humps it on.
07:54And there's the finish from Jota.
07:56Who has another one.
07:58And has turned this around in Liverpool's favour.
08:01Diogo Jota at the double.
08:06James receiving his share of the credit from those in red in the midst of the celebrations as well.
08:11For the part that he played driving forward.
08:14Before Jota did the rest.
08:17And who's left on the bench at the weekend.
08:18Having started the first four in the Premier League this season.
08:22Straight back into the starting line-up tonight.
08:25Back on the score sheet.
08:28Liverpool lead for the first time in this third round tie.
08:31Having come back from behind.
08:37James had started it a little early.
08:39He got it back from Gakpo.
08:40And then.
08:41Oh.
08:42And back again.
08:43Kostas Simekas delivers the cross.
08:45Just cleared before it reached Diogo's chest.
08:48Four in Liverpool.
08:49Red to try and pick out in the penalty area.
08:51A couple further arriving on the edge of the box.
08:54Number nine.
08:55Working it wider.
08:56So foul.
08:58Good will to drift infield.
08:59Opened up a little bit of space.
09:04In by Creswell.
09:06Rising to meet it was Killman.
09:07He's done well here.
09:08Somerville now.
09:11And still.
09:12And it breaks back for Mikkel Antonio.
09:13Bowen was in there.
09:14So is Killman.
09:15And still.
09:17Oh and Killman just couldn't get his shot away.
09:21Kept out at his feet by Kelleher.
09:23Who did really well.
09:25But Killman just delayed it and delayed it.
09:28And is unable to find that finishing touch.
09:32Somerville had done well.
09:34Antonio's effort saved by Kelleher.
09:37And it's a double stop in the end.
09:38That heavy foul.
09:40Lucas Paquita with back to goal.
09:42He had McAllister snapping at his heels.
09:44He's done well to find so far.
09:45Jones to Kwonsa.
09:49Mo Salah.
09:51Slipping it through for Bradley.
09:53Bradley will cut it back.
09:54Back for Salah.
09:55And in.
09:57Mo Salah might just have settled it.
10:01And helped the holders into the next round.
10:06Off the bench to provide Liverpool with some breathing space.
10:10Emphatic finish from Mo Salah.
10:15Who last played in this competition when he scored against West Ham in last season's quarterfinal.
10:24Found himself in the right position to slam that one into the top of the net.
10:33Hasn't taken him long.
10:34He actually.
10:35Mo Salah might just have settled it.
10:39And helped the holders into the next round.
10:42Off the bench to provide Liverpool with some breathing space.
10:46Emphatic finish from Mo Salah.
10:54Who last played in this competition when he scored against West Ham in last season's quarterfinal.
11:03Found himself in the right position to slam that one into the top of the net.
11:08Hasn't taken him long.
11:09Into the top of the net.
11:15Hasn't taken him long.
11:16He actually played the pass here.
11:21West Ham struggling to contain Cody Gakpoe.
11:23Linking up with Darwin Nunez here.
11:24Gakpoe again.
11:26Gets his goal.
11:30It had been coming.
11:33And it arrives thanks to a brilliant finish from Cody Gakpoe.
11:37Scores for Liverpool for the first time this season.
11:40And they're racing clear at the conclusion.
11:424-1 now.
11:45And through to round four in some style.
11:53Might just be the pick of the bunch.
11:54Certainly in terms of Poe, he might still make something of it.
11:58Gets away from Kudus.
12:00Gakpoe again.
12:01It's in again.
12:05Another one for Liverpool.
12:075-1.
12:142-0.
