Half-Time Report: Liverpool cruising against Bournemouth

Raheem Sterling and Lazar Markovic find the net as Tottenham Hotspur take a 2-0 half-time lead against Newcastle United in their League Cup quarter-final.

Liverpool remain on course to reach the last four of the League Cup after taking a 2-0 half-time lead over Bournemouth in their quarter-final tie this evening.

The hosts started the night on the front foot and they had a chance to take the lead in the fourth minute, when Callum Wilson tricked his way past Martin Skrtel before placing an effort wide of the post.

Liverpool had a chance of their own moments later, as Adam Lallana fired in a strike from range that Artur Boruc stuck out a hand to tip over the bar.

The Reds began to dominate and they went ahead in the 20th minute through Raheem Sterling, who nodded in Jordan Henderson's header back across from close range.

Liverpool doubled their lead seven minutes later when Philippe Coutinho's strike was blocked by the keeper, but Lazar Markovic arrived to steer home the rebound.

Yann Kermorgant then wasted the chance to immediately pull a goal for the Cherries when he was picked out inside the box by Simon Francis, but he ended up blazing his strike over the bar.
