Liverpool had the advantage of going first in the penalty shootout. Emre Can, who missed in the semis, scored a Panenka!

Liverpool's advantage multiplied when Manchester City's first penalty taker, Fernandinho, crashed his spot kick against the post.

Lucas couldn't double Liverpool's lead as his weak attempt was thwarted by Willy Caballero, who saved brilliantly to his left.

Manchester City's Jesus Navas restored parity with a smoothly-taken penalty. Mignolet went the right way but it was very precise in the bottom-left corner.

Caballero saves again! Coutinho did not back his stuttering run-up with a precise penalty and his weak effort was saved by Caballero to his left.

A class penalty from Aguero, straight into the bottom right corner. Mignolet went the right way for the third time but couldn’t get there.

Lallana missed the chance to restore parity to the score as another sensational save from Caballero denies the Merseyside club.

Yaya Toure put the icing on the cake, scoring the penalty that won Manchester City the League Cup. City beat Liverpool 3-1 on penalties.
