Defending champions Liverpool rallied from behind to thrash West Ham United 5-1 in the Carabao Cup third round at Anfield on Wednesday evening.
Caoimhin Kelleher continued in goal for the Reds, while Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa also got starts under Arne Slot.
The start wasn't what the home team had anticipated as centre-back Jarell Quansah prodded the ball into his own net after attempting to make a clearance.
The lead did not last long though as the Reds levelled matters a few minutes later when Diogo Jota collected a pass from Chiesa to rattle the net, before completing his brace just after halftime with another smart finish.
West Ham were on the ropes at this stage and saw Mohamed Salah get in around the danger area to make it three before Coady Gakpo put the icing on the cake at the death.
Furthermore, the Hammers didn't complete the clash with a full contingent of personnel as Edson Alvarez received his marching orders for a late and clumsy challenge on Salah.
Arsenal 5-1 Bolton Wanderers
Arsenal were too strong for Bolton Wanderers after registering a 5-1 victory to advance to the fourth round of the cup.
Sixteen-year-old goalkeeper Jack Porter made his debut for the Gunners, while Riccardo Calafiori and Raheem Sterling were also in the starting line-up.
Midfielder and club record signing Declan Rice got the breakthrough with young starlet Ethan Nwaneri bagging another and went on to complete his brace just after the interval.
Bolton got one back soon after halftime through a certain Aaron Collins on hand to pick off a ball from John McAtee and took complete control with a solid finish.
On-loan Raheem Sterling joined in the act in the midway stages of the second period and thus opened his account at the club since arriving a few weeks ago.
German international Kai Havertz rounded up the evening's work with a pretty comfortable execution and left the visitors utterly out of sight.
