Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin had mixed emotions after their Carabao Cup defeat at Liverpool.

Liverpool and Arsenal drew 5-5 in 90 action-packed minutes.

The Reds went on to win in a penalty shootout and book their place in the last eight of the Carabao Cup.

Even losing captain Bellerin had to admit the night was special.

"I have to say it was great to play this kind of game," he said.

"The tempo of the play, the goals - this is football. This is what you play football for, for nights like this. Whatever the score, today we're gutted, but I'm sure there's going to be nights that go in our favour."

Arsenal manager Unai Emery called it "a crazy match".

"It was amazing for the supporters, for us and everybody," he said.
