Liverpool defeats Chelsea to WIN the Carabao Cup
Virgil van Dijk’s header deep into extra time gave an under-strength Liverpool a remarkable Carabao Cup final win over Chelsea at Wembley.
Van Dijk had seen a header contentiously ruled out for offside on the hour but there was no reprieve for Chelsea when he glanced home another from Kostas Tsimikas’ corner in the 118th minute.
Liverpool’s 10th triumph in the competition was achieved without a host of injured star names, including forward trio Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, also losing Ryan Gravenberch when he was taken off on a stretcher after Moises Caicedo’s first-half challenge.
It means Jurgen Klopp’s side have achieved the first part of a potential four-trophy haul in the manager’s farewell season, but it was a bitter blow to Chelsea and manager Mauricio Pochettino.
They have now lost six successive Wembley finals, including three against Liverpool, and wasted a host of opportunities here.
