Chelsea FC also made it to the quarter-finals of the English League Cup thanks to the German national soccer player Kai Havertz.

However, the Premier League leaders struggled to a 4: 3 on penalties against Southampton FC on Tuesday evening.

After regular playing time it was 1: 1 (1: 0).

Havertz (44th) had put coach Thomas Tuchel's London team in the lead.

Two minutes after the break, Ché Adams equalized for the team of former Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhüttl.

Since there was no extra time, it went straight to penalties.

As in the previous round in the play-off against Aston Villa, Reece James converted the decisive shot from the point.

Arsenal FC beat Leeds United 2-0 (0-0) after just 90 minutes plus stoppage time.

Edward Nketiah (55th) and Calum Chambers (69th) met the Londoners, who were particularly strong after a break.

In the Arsenal goal stood the German international Bernd Leno, who last lost his place to Aaron Ramsdale in the Premier League games.
