Liverpool took a 2-0 lead into the half-time break of their EFL Cup clash against Southampton with the first goal courtesy of Darwin Nunez.
The Reds have made an incredible start to life under Arne Slot as the Merseyside club currently sit top of the Premier League and Champions League table.
The Carabao Cup is probably the lowest trophy on the Dutch manager’s list of priorities; However, as the defending champions, the former Feyenoord coach has taken the competition seriously.
Slot played a strong line-up against Southampton on Wednesday night and it was two of their biggest stars who played a part in the first goal of the night.
Trent Alexander-Arnold produced an incredible piece of skill to get away from two Saints stars before his pass finally reached Nunez, who finished clinically.
The goal shows exactly why Real Madrid want Alexander-Arnold, with the right-back still linked with a move away from Liverpool. The 26-year-old is out of contract at Anfield at the end of the season and there has been no sign of a new deal until 2025.

Will Trent Alexander-Arnold leave Liverpool in 2025?
Liverpool are likely to be working hard to try and agree a new contract with Alexander-Arnold behind the scenes, as the right-back is a generational talent in his position.
The English star recently stated that negotiations over his contract will not take place in public, which has not allayed the fears of Liverpool fans amid his links with Real Madrid.
Liverpool have Trent Alexander-Arnold’s replacement in mind
The right-back has won everything at Anfield and may want a new challenge in his career. The Englishman is also a good friend of Jude Bellingham, who is currently demonstrating his talent in Madrid.
The likelihood of Alexander-Arnold signing a new contract is high, with moments like Darwin Nunez’s goal highlighting why Real Madrid are interested in the Reds defender.
