Hazard seals Chelsea rally to end Reds’ winning run

Eden Hazard scored a superb winner as Chelsea came from behind to beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

The Reds’ seven-match winning start to the season was halted after substitute Hazard fired past Simon Mignolet in the 85th minute at the end of a wonderful run. Hazard’s goal came six minutes after he helped create Emerson Palmieri’s equaliser, which cancelled out Daniel Sturridge’s58th-minuteopener. West Ham romped to an 8-0 victory over Macclesfield, with Robert Snodgrass, Lucas Perez, Ryan Fredericks and debutant Grady Diangana all scoring their first goals for the club. Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna were also on target as the Hammers registered their biggest victory in 35 years.

Arsenal survived a second-half rally from Brentford as a Danny Welbeck double proved enough to seal a place in the fourth round. The Gunners were pushed all the way by a much-changed Brentford side but showed enough to advance with a 3-1 win.

Welbeck scored twice in the first half, but the visitors shone after the interval and pulled a goal back through an Alan Judge free-kick, only for substitute Alexandre Lacazette to secure the win with a stoppage-time effort.

Nottingham Forest hung on to beat Stoke 3-2 in a pulsating tie at the City Ground. Forest were 3-0 up after 50 minutes as goals from Ben Osborn, Daryl Murphy and Joe Lolley put them firmly in the driving seat, but Benik Afobe pulled a goal back before the Reds were reduced to ten men when Diogo Goncalves was sent off.

Saido Berahino then set up a frantic last few minutes with a second Stoke goal.
