Liverpool won 2-0 away to Preston in the fourth round in the League Cup on Wednesday night, with Divock Origi‘s stunning goal taking the plaudits after the game.
Preston 0-2 Liverpool
League Cup Fourth Round, Deepdale
October 27, 2021
Goals: Minamino 62′, Origi 84′
The Reds bounced into Deepdale still fresh off the back of the stunning 5-0 win at Man United, looking to reach the quarter-finals.
Jurgen Klopp predictably made wholesale changes, but it made little difference to the end result.
A tedious first half saw Preston enjoy the better chances, with Adrian making a key save and Neco Williams blocking the subsequent effort on the line.
Takumi Minamino fired Liverpool in front with a clever finish from close range just after the hour mark, however, easing fears of an upset.
The Reds’ win was sealed by an outrageous strike by Origi, who flicked a finish into the net in acrobatic fashion.
Here’s how supporters reacted to Liverpool’s win on Twitter, Facebook and This Is Anfield’s comments section.
A solid but unspectacular victory was assessed…
That’s 23 games unbeaten for Liverpool in all competitions now.

The big problem with every football match that will take place between now and the end of time is that not a single one of them will be better than Sunday, but at least we won and no one got injured.

“Tough game but a good win. Great goal from Origi” – Derek Drury on Facebook.
Liverpool win and advance to the next round. Pleased for Taki and Divock getting the goals. Also pleased for the young Reds who got game time. Keep going @LFC it's looking good! #LFC #YNWA #LFCFamily

There was plenty of love for Origi’s goal…

Divock. You big, beautiful, mad bastard.

Divock Origi only cares about scoring the spectacular or the absurd. Has absolutely no time for normal goals.

Just saw Man City lose in the league cup and Divock Origi score a scorpion kick in the same night. Never stop dreaming, kids

Tyler Morton also caught the eye…
Enjoyed watching Tyler Morton again tonight. Composed and clever use of the ball. Conor Bradley brave & direct when he came on too. Good to see #PNELIV

Great pass from Tyler Morton to start the move for the Minamino ?? #PNELIV

he's a damn midfield general
Tyler Morton has to make it here— Hathaway (@pg__Kenny) October 27, 2021
Tyler Morton has seriously impressed in the cup, wouldn't mind giving him some league minutes off the bench in games we lead comfortably
— Adam ????#BLM (@FanofNoOneV1) October 27, 2021
Motm for me Morton, assured, takes up smart positions and anticipates danger, got more progressive with his passing as game went on including the key pass to Neco in opening goal. Neco himself also had a good game and Adrian made some critical saves and was solid throughout.
