Liverpool backup keeper Kelleher came up big with two early saves in the shootout, but misses by Stefan Bajcetic and Roberto Firmino left the game in the balance with each side having two remaining spot kicks.

Derby's Louie Sibley and Liverpool's Darwin Nunez both scored and Kelleher saved another setting the stage for Elliot to bury his penalty to send Liiverpool through.
