CARABAO CUP FINAL
By Charles Edu
Liverpool defeated Chelsea 11-10 on penalties to secure a record breaking victory in the League Cup Final.
The cup triumph sees the ‘Reds’ win the trophy for a record ninth time, the most of any side in English football. Jürgen Klopp wins his 10th trophy as manager, 21 years to the day since he first became a manager at Mainz.
Since the start of the century, no fixture has been played more than Chelsea vs Liverpool, and in their 190th meeting overall, they met at Wembley Stadium for the 62nd League Cup Final. Tuchel’s Chelsea, who were chasing their third trophy of the season came up against Liverpool, managed by Klopp, the one manager that Tuchel has lost more games to than any other manager.
11-10 it finished on penalties, with every player scoring until it got to the final of the 22 men to take part. Kepa, on to be the hero in goal for Chelsea just minutes before the 120 minute mark, skied his penalty high into the jubilant Liverpool end, paving the way for a record-breaking 9th League Cup win for the Reds.
