Jesus, who had only scored one goal during the autumn season, saved an Arsenal team that had fallen behind early at home against Crystal Palace in the League Cup quarterfinals.

Newcastle easily won over Brentford with 3–1. Alexander Isak started for Newcastle but was substituted goalless after 77 minutes.
Sandro Tonali scored two goals before halftime for the home team.
Premier League-leading Liverpool defeated Southampton away with 2–1.
