Watch: Sturridge nets brace to power Liverpool past Spurs in EFL Cup

Dance, Daniel.
Liverpool is marching into the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, after the Reds got a brace from previously out-of-sorts striker Daniel Sturridge on Tuesday to send Tottenham out of the competition.
After showcasing his poaching talents for the opening goal, Sturridge broke Spurs' (porous) offside trap for his second. That strike proved to be the winner after Vincent Janssen slotted home a penalty to make things close in the second half.
Jurgen Klopp and his men, enjoying a fantastic start to the season, will wait for tomorrow's quarter-final draw, which takes place immediately following the day's fourth round matches.
