Liverpool youngster Rhian Brewster was given a rare starting chance for Jurgen Klopp’s side last night.

Rhian Brewster of Liverpool celebrates scoring his penalty during the Carabao Cup Round of 16 match between Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield on October 30, 2019 in Liverpool, England.

Jamie Carragher has told Sky Sports, during their live Carabao Cup coverage, that he thought Rhian Brewster did really well for Liverpool last night.

Brewster played his part as Liverpool got past Arsenal in a pulsating clash at Anfield last night.

Liverpool won on penalties against the Gunners, after the two sides had played out a 5-5 draw.

Brewster may not have got on the scoresheet like many of his teammates yesterday.

But Carragher was impressed by the fighting spirit which the youngster showed, especially during the second-half of the contest.

“I thought Brewster did really well,” Carragher said. “He didn’t get on the scoresheet but second half he didn’t stop. He was fighting, chasing things down. I thought he was fantastic.”

Brewster is considered to be one of the brightest prospects at Liverpool, but he has only been given limited game time this term.

The 19-year-old has trained with Liverpool’s senior squad all season, but he is still waiting for his first Premier League appearance.

Brewster’s only action has come in the EFL Cup to date, and he will be hoping that he continues to keep his place in Jurgen Klopp’s side for the competition, even though the Reds have now reached the quarter-finals.
