Poor Kepa. He doesn't have the most illustrious record in the League Cup, does he?

Three years after Chelsea's ill-fated final in which the Spaniard refused to be substituted for a penalty shootout – described by Martin Tyler yesterday as an "Arriza-palaver" – Kepa was the keeper being brought on for the spot-kicks yesterday.

It didn't quite go to plan. The £70m man didn't save any of Liverpool's 11 penalties before skying the decisive penalty himself. They say that penalty shootouts are a lottery – so that seems the equivalent of losing your winning ticket down a drain.

Back in the day, Kepa would never have to have endured such a fate. Cup finals used to go to replays until the 2001 edition of the League Cup brought us our first-ever shootout. There have been a fair few since – so who's stepped up for the spot-kicks?
