- LIVERPOOL — Holders
Liverpool booked their place in another Carabao Cup Final as they thrashed
Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 in the second lef of the semifinal on Friday (IST).
-
- With a 1-0 deficit to overturn from the first leg of their
semi-final, the Reds got the job done at a lively Anfield.
-
- The Reds will therefore now look to retain the trophy they
won last season when they meet Newcastle United at Wembley on March 16.
-
- Liverpool were on top from the start and went ahead on 34
minutes when Yves Bissouma gave the ball away in midfield and Mohamed Salah
played a clever cross for Darwin Nunez, who missed his effort before Cody Gakpo
drilled in.
-
- The visitors, who had held hope of ending a 17-year trophy
drought, struggled to get going and barely threatened the 10-time winners of
this competition.
-
- Salah fired in from the spot just five minutes into the
second half after Nunez was wiped out by goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.
-
- The home supporters saw that as their cue to begin the
Wembley chants as Tottenham looked sapped of energy.
-
- Dominik Szoboszlai stamped out any chances of an already
unlikely comeback when he slotted home from Conor Bradley's cross before a
textbook Virgil van Dijk header from a corner and ensured Liverpool's place in
the final.
