Liverpool beat Stoke City 1-0 at the Britannia stadium in the League Cup semi-final first-leg tie.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp picked a strong side going into the game with first-team regulars Emre Can, Coutinho and Lucas all starting.
Jordan Ibe scored the one and only goal of the game on 37 minutes to give the Reds an important away victory.
Can put on another hard working performance working assiduously in midfield making the joint highest number of tackles (4) and also helped keep possession making the joint highest number of passes (43).

Emre Can, he can take a cool and calm penalty.https://t.co/avrOYMnY3d
