Liverpool vs. Leeds United: Score, Reaction from 2016 EFL Cup Quarter-Final
- Updated: November 29, 2016
Divock Origi and 17-year-old substitute Ben Woodburn scored second-half goals to help Liverpool beat Leeds United 2-0 at Anfield on Tuesday and reach the EFL Cup semi-finals.
Woodburn scored Liverpool’s second and made club history in the process, according to Sky Sports Statto:

Woodburn came off the bench after Leeds United had frustrated Liverpool for most of 70 minutes. Origi had already opened the account for last season’s beaten finalists when he met a superb cross from another academy youngster, 18-year-old Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Despite a raft of injuries, including Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp still picked a strong starting XI. The German included first-team regulars Georginio Wijnaldum and Sadio Mane alongside Origi up front.
Klopp also gave chances to youngsters Kevin Stewart (23), along with teenage midfielders Ovie Ejaria (19) and Alexander-Arnold. The latter played full-back, while midfielder Lucas Leiva started at centre-back in a makeshift defence.
Meanwhile, former Arsenal and Swansea City defender Kyle Bartley was at the back for Leeds, per Sky Sports Football:
