Raheem Sterling scored his first goal for Arsenal in a 5-1 victory over Bolton during their English League Cup third-round tie at the Emirates Stadium. Sterling's goal came in the 64th minute, tapping in after a cross from Bukayo Saka was spilled by Bolton's goalkeeper. This was his maiden goal for Arsenal since moving from Chelsea on transfer deadline day, marking a promising start to his career at the club after a challenging period at Stamford Bridge.
The match also featured a notable moment for Jack Porter, a 16-year-old goalkeeper making his debut, becoming Arsenal’s youngest ever starter, surpassing Cesc Fabregas's record set in 2003. Declan Rice opened the scoring with a clinical finish from the edge of the box, while Ethan Nwaneri netted twice to help secure the victory for Arsenal, which sees them move to the last 16 of the competition(
Meanwhile, Liverpool cruised past West Ham with a 5-1 win, despite West Ham taking an early lead through a deflected own goal. Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo each scored twice, and Mohamed Salah added a late goal to seal a comprehensive victory. The result intensifies pressure on West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui, who has struggled to find form this season.
