DHAKA: Teenager Ben Woodburn eclipsed Michael Owen as Liverpool's youngest goalscorer as the Reds edged past Championship side Leeds United in the EFL Cup quarter-finals at Anfield.

The Premier League hosts huffed and puffed before Divock Origi stole behind the Leeds defence to sweep in Trent Alexander-Arnold's right-wing cross from close range, reports the BBC.

They secured a place in the last four when Wales Under-19 international Woodburn, aged 17 years and 45 days, fired in the second.

Liverpool hit a post through Georginio Wijnaldum shortly before the opener, but the scoreline was somewhat harsh on the Yorkshire side.

Leeds winger Kemar Roofe curled against the inside of a post shortly after half-time.

Hadi Sacko spurned a good opportunity for the visitors in the opening 10 minutes, and Kyle Bartley nodded a free header wide after the break.

Liverpool will find out who they play in the semi-finals when the draw is made after Wednesday’s matches.
