EFL Cup: Wolves' Arokodare, Arsenal's Nwaneri and Chelsea's George score, Palace's Uche subbed in

Chelsea youngster Tyrique George was on target as the Blues edged Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-3 at Molineux on Wednesday night to advance in the Carabao Cup.

The 19-year-old netted Chelsea's second goal after Andrey Santos opened the scoring in the fifth minute.

George tapped in a fine cross from Jamie Gittens following a slick exchange between the former Dortmund man and Buonanotte.

Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare pulled one back for Wolves early in the second half, finishing calmly into the bottom corner from Hwang Hee-chan's pass.

The goal marked his second for the Premier League side since joining from Genk in the summer.

At the Emirates Stadium, teenage midfielder Ethan Nwaneri opened the scoring as Arsenal cruised to a 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Nwaneri fired home from the edge of the box after a brilliant team move, before Bukayo Saka sealed the victory with composed finish.

Elsewhere, Super Eagles midfielder Chrisantus Uche came off the bench as Crystal Palace earned a commanding 3-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield.

Uche replaced Borna Sosa in the final seven minutes, while a brace from Ismaïla Sarr and a strike from summer signing Yeremy Pino handed the Eagles the victory.
