Allnigeriasoccer.com's round-up of the Nigeria-eligible players in action for their respective clubs in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Thursday, September 24.

At the LNER Stadium in Lincolnshire, Premier League champions Liverpool thrashed League One side Lincoln City 7-2.

Tottenham Hotspur loanee Timothy Eyoma and 2017 U19 EURO winner with England, Tayo Edun started and were in action for ninety minutes.

The Reds were 4-0 up at the break after brilliant goals from Xherdan Shaqiri and Takumi Minamino, and a Curtis Jones brace, before Minamino netted his second of the night 18 seconds into the second half.

On the hour mark, Edun pulled a goal back when he slotted home a low shot but a goal from Grujić helped restore Liverpool's five goal cushion.

Montsma made it 6-2 before Divock Origi added gloss to the scoreline with an 89th minute strike.

At the Etihad Stadium, Nnamdi Ofoborh put in a solid 90-minute shift at the heart of defence as Bournemouth lost 2-1 to defending champions Manchester City.

Former Denmark U21 international Philip Billing also went the full ninety for the Cherries, City youngster Felix Nmecha was a non-playing substitute and Dominic Solanke wasn't in the 18.

Liam Delap on his senior debut opened the scoring after 18 minutes only for Sam Surridge to restore parity four minutes later. Fourteen minutes from time, Phil Foden netted the winning goal.
