​Slimani stunner sees Leicester knock Liverpool out of Carabao Cup

Islam Slimani scored an incredible goal as Leicester ran out 2-0 winners over Liverpool in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Substitute Shinji Okazaki opened the scoring after 66 minutes, prodding home Vicente Ibrorra's header across goal.

Slimani then put the game out of reach when he fired in a brilliant strike from outside the box.

Despite dominating the first-half, Liverpool were unable to take any of their chances in front of goal. The loss means that Jurgen Klopp's side have failed to win any of their last four matches.

Meanwhile, Leicester advance to the fourth round of the competition for the first time since 2015.

The two sides will meet again in a Premier League fixture this Saturday at the King Power Stadium.
