Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin is proud of what his team achieved, despite going out in the Carabao Cup against Liverpool.

The Gunners had a prime opportunity to get into the quarter finals, with the Reds resting several first team players.

But they were unable to hold on to a 4-2 or 5-4 lead in the game, which ended 5-5 in normal time.

They went out on penalties, but Bellerin was still positive afterwards.

"[I'm] very gutted but very proud as a team because from the start we went for the game, we went for the win," Bellerin told Arsenal's official website.

"We're not scared to play anyone, we're not scared to play anywhere and as I said, there's loads of positives to take. Loads of negatives as well, but this is part of the way and we're looking on to the weekend now.

"I have to say it was great to play this kind of game. Loads of mistakes from both sides and those are things that we've got to look at and analyse and you know we've got to get better at.

"The tempo of the play, the goals – this is football. This is what you play football for, for nights like this. Whatever the score, today we're gutted, but I'm sure there's going to be nights that go in our favour.

"This is the thing, when you've been so close to winning and you lose at the end, it hurts. But this is what pushes you to do better in the next game.

"It's not easy to score five goals at Anfield. There's not many teams that can say that they've done that. Sure, we conceded five, we conceded a penalty and Alex [Oxlade-Chamberlain's] goal is one of those things that you just have to sit back and take it because there's not much you can do about things like this."
