Carabao Cup: Liverpool thrash West Ham, set-up Fulham semi-final battle

Curtis Jones scored twice as Liverpool thrashed West Ham 5-1 at Anfield to set up a Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham.

The midfielder struck Liverpool’s second and fifth goals, adding to Dominik Szoboszlai’s long-range stunner, a precise finish from Cody Gakpo and a breakaway strike by substitute Mohamed Salah.

Jarrod Bowen scored a consolation goal for West Ham but the scoreline reflected the one-sidedness of the contest, with Liverpool registering 29 shots on goal to the visitors’ two.
